Humphries into Grand Prix semis as Van Veen exits
Luke Humphries breezes into the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Niels Zonneveld.
Luke Humphries, the world's second-ranked darts player, advanced to the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix with an effortless 3-0 win over Niels Zonneveld. The Englishman averaged 85.91, hitting four 180s, but was precise at crucial times, securing 33.33% of checkouts. Humphries, 31, has not lost a set in this year's tournament, having dominated Dave Chisnall and Jermaine Wattimena earlier.
He will face compatriot James Wade in the final four after Wade defeated third-seeded Gian van Veen in a 3-0 triumph. Humphries expressed his desire to make four consecutive finals, commenting on the challenge ahead against Wade.
Meanwhile, Nathan Aspinall secured his place in the last four with a dominant 3-0 victory over Ryan Joyce at Leicester's Mattioli Arena. Aspinall will clash with Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals, following Price's impressive 3-2 comeback win over his fellow Welshman Jonny Clayton who, despite a two-set lead, failed to secure the match.
