  "account": "Luke Humphries, currently ranked second in the sport, secured his second World Grand Prix title by defeating Gerwyn Price in the final with a decisive 6-4 victory. This victory marks the end of a 16-month wait for Humphries to win a major PDC title after his 2023 triumph launched him to the top of the rankings. Humphries, who was in a record-breaking fourth consecutive World Grand Prix final, trailed Price 3-0 in the match but quickly turned the tide, winning four sets on the spin. The turning point came when Humphries broke Price's resistance in the deciding leg of set five and then won three straight legs to claim the title. This victory extends Humphries' streak of major title wins, adding to his 2023 championship. Price's defeat prolongs his four-year wait for a major PDC title, as he has now lost five successive major finals, including three in the current year.",
