Luke Humphries: World No 1 believes win over Luke Littler in Premier League gives him confidence to win UK Open | Darts News happymamay

Luke Humphries believes that his first Premier League victory over Luke Littler on the fourth night will give him confidence to win the United Kingdom this week.

Humphrez won his first Premier League victory over Litler in the seventh attempt on the fourth night in Exter, which increased his progress at the top of the 2025 table.

Littler 19 threw the amazing maximum over its three matches, although its level decreased in the final match against the number 1, which benefited completely and saw himself at home.

Now, Humphrez will go to Minehead to the UK Open Championship that will witness the holders of the PDC round cards competing over three days of work as well as the PDC amateur qualifiers and senior players from the Winmau Challenge 2024 and merit orders.

Humphrez enters the UK open in the fourth round alongside other big names such as Peter Wright, Danny Nobbart, James Wadi and Gary Anderson and believes that winning against Litler in the Premier League will only help enhance his chances of finishing Sunday with another specialization in his name.

“I felt like a hard work, but I felt satisfied, I felt my game was good after I fought,” Humphrez said.

“The completion was good in moments and was not good at other times.

“It is a great start. I love winning the group, it’s the beginning of a dream and I need to continue to pay. This will give me confidence.

“I have done a lot of things in the right quorum tonight. I have a great opportunity to win another specialization and will give me this victory.”

This means that the Humphries points during the first four weeks are now in 15 years, which are seven of Littler in second place, with the only night winner in 2025, Gerwyn PRICE, in third place in the seventh after leaving the quarter -finals. Michael van Gereen is the first four places, in six points, although also lost in the opening match at the fourth night.

Humphrez added: “Littleer played great tonight, and this wonderful did not play in the final and managed to put my feet on the gas at the end of the legs.”

“It is the first time that I have been hit in the Premier League. It becomes more difficult every time you lose.

“In Glasgow, I faced this problem with my finger, this time I felt a little more and nothing could prevent me.

“My end is what helped me tonight.”

“It is difficult to see Humphrez stops”

Sky Sports’ John Part believes that Humphrez’s confidence will derive from his English Premier League victory will help him to move forward.

“The back end in which he was mistaken was. He had high -quality start matches, which we could see, was focusing well and you liked it,” said part.

“He has proven that night and will build his confidence.

“Litten, it is difficult to see it stops.
