Luke Humphries talking to Sky Sports: “I am really proud. It is three finals on the trot I’ve lost. I’m ready for the Worlds now. I am going to win the Worlds.
“I am declaring war on him. I’m playing good. Tiredness just crept in at the end there. We’re going to go to war at the World Championships, we’ll see who is the one there.
‘I said to him he deserves everything he gets. He’s a massive advocate for darts. I’ve never really felt like world number one, I’ve never felt like I’ve got the attention I deserve. He’s such an incredible player.”
Do you feel like you two are in a league of your own: “Yeah, I do. I don’t feel arrogant saying that. What can us two do? We’re on opposite sides of the draw and people can stop us. I am trying to stop him and I can’t. It is up to everyone else to stop us. At the moment us two are playing a level of this sport that is better than everyone else. I want to play another world final against him.”
