The English player, who holds the top ranking, achieved three perfect 180s and a highest checkout of 129 during the match. Humphries expressed optimism about his chances, stating, \"I've got a good chance of winning this. At the moment I am a bit up and down, but if I can put that right I am going to be tough to beat.\" James Wade also advanced to the next round, triumphing 3-1 against Stephen Bunting. The tournament format requires players to start and finish each leg with a double, which Wade managed effectively. In the quarter-finals, Humphries will face Niels Zonneveld, who beat Gary Anderson 3-1.",
