Well losing with an 103 average and a 40% checkout percentage you would win 9 out 10 games. This was not Cross playing bad but Humphries playing exceptional.

[@teejay6063]

Awful. Poor dood. I like Rob too. I like them both, really.

Well deserved from Luke tonight. Congratulations to him

[@marabaggbast]

Congrats to Luke! What a performance! That was amazing. Gary was the only worthy opponent to him in this tournament. It's gonna be a great World Cup.

No chance of Luke missing the next Premier League.

I thought he would be in the last one on merit

[@jodieandthomasmongan2026]

And deservely so , he's a very very good player

@@evannierenberg1007 same here. But they chose Dimitri instead... but hey... he didn't qualify for this so... works out in the end.

[@Haterade420]

Two majors in 2023. Yeah, he definitely deserves a spot.

[@steviecoraz9442]

Utterly stunning. Luke is taking darts to a new level. Fair play to Rob also as he didn’t do much wrong. It was a great watch.

[@JD-re3cj]

Humphries is surely going to be a world champion sooner or later. A few months ago I took odds of him to win this years Worlds at 16/1 and now he’s 9/2 favourite just behind MVG and Price

[@yonderorphan7499]

He's favourite with Irish bookies

[@yusufluhar5881]

Based off of form, Luke should be made the favourite.

[@jeffsandes5265]

Legs/Sets format is a different beast.@@yusufluhar5881

[@Zarkava8]

You should've bet your house on him to win.

[@teejay6063]

Wow. 16 to 4.5? That's a good bet, even if it loses. Keep making bets like that.

[@garywilloughby6615]

Congrats to Luke, he has the best throwing action in the game today

[@reggiebishop5398]

Best man won. This young man is on a mission. Great to see after his battle with anxiety. Rob has had a good tournament as well but hard to get Luke right now especially double header as well but great tournament and good side story for the American Stowe

[@PunanyChemist]

That 170 was insane.

[@ctgsuchok740]

Anderson was the hardest opponent of Luke. That game deserved to be a Final.

[@BlueHopi144]

Agreed , the best match of the entire 1/4 's and the entire tournament .

[@example2844]

It's absolutely incredible, because in a matter of MONTHS, Luke Humphries has become in my opinion the best player in the world currently, I've never seen darts like his over the past number of weeks

[@yusufluhar5881]

That was one of the best performances I have seen in a major final. We knew there would be a new winner of the Grand Slam this year and I wanted a Cross vs Humphries final to see who would win the Eric Bristow trophy and that’s what we got but that final was absolutely ridiculous because Cross played well throughout the final and he never dropped his level, against another opponent it probably would have been enough to take the trophy but against Luke Humphries playing like this, what on earth can u do besides try ur best which is what Cross did. That was the highest losing average in a Grand Slam final and I’m sure Rob will take a lot of positives from this tournament coz he was fantastic and I congratulate him for how he played. To Cool Hand Luke Humphries congrats on an unbelievable performance and for winning another major so soon after winning ur first one. I said a few months ago that the way Humphries is playing, he will win multiple majors in the future and others said he doesn’t have the mentality to do it but I believed he would and when I met him at the Grand Prix after his quarter final vs Peter Wright, I said to him I believe u will win multiple majors and he said I hope so. Well the only thing that has shocked me is how quickly he became a multiple major champion. Twice in two months taking the Grand Prix and the Grand Slam. Absolutely sensational. He is the best player in the world on current form and he should be put as favourite for the World Championship. Smith, Price, MVG etc all need to up their level coz Luke is coming for that world title and will take some stopping.

[@krokodil9096]

get a life.

YOUVE NOT SEEN MVG IN BEASTMODE THEN COS THIS AINT SHIT COMPARED TO THAT OLD HYPE IT ALL UP BOY...

Yes he would but mvg is not at his prime anymore and i dont think he will never come back. MVG still played the best darts by far we have ever witness

[@boom4301]

Fair play the Luke the guys in absolutely phenomenal form and never looked like getting beaten tonight. Gary was the only one who really challenged him in the knockouts and just fell off in the last 2 legs. Bring on the worlds💪

[@BlueHopi144]

Exactly. Only Gary was playing incredibly well & nearly beat Luke. His checkouts were the best I have seen all week . 😊😊

[@Zarkava8]

Well done Luke, you blew him away. 👍

[@jeffsandes5265]

Hard to pick for the WC title. Price, Smith, MVG, Aspinall, Wright and now Luke. This one will be wiiiiide open.

[@BlueHopi144]

Add Anderson ....he showed he has the passion back & will be very dangerous comes World's.

Add Searle and Van Barneveld

What a brilliant display from Humphries,, congratulations 👏

[@christrickett3291]

I know things can go wrong, accidents, life problems, loss of form etc but can anybody seriously not see Luke being World No 1 by January and keeping it for a few years? Not even Beau Greaves would have beaten him tonight.

[@Rocky0Road]

Relax, his needs to do this over a few years, not a one season wonder

Relaxed! Just managed it as you were writing.

[@cameronk4376]

How can you not love the darts!! 🔥

[@bganonimouse2754]

For those that don't know Luke is a real top guy with no 'side'. He regularly supports other players when they're not playing well. A win for Luke is a win for the good side of humanity. And he's not a bad darts player either!!!

[@spinozacelt]

incredible darts from Luke.Cross didnt play so badly but he was just blown away by hurricane Humphries.Defo fave for the World Championship now.

[@Gregg-eo2le]

Seems such a nice guy does luke, very respectful of other players

[@AngleseyDarter]

Cracking performance by Luke. I still think they should change the format for the semis and final. They should be played on separate days in my opinion.

[@Austraveler]

hab selten gesehen dass ein Spieler den anderen, der quasi den gleichen Average spielt (und das auch noch klar ü100), so krass düpiert. Humphries war wirklich wie vom anderen Stern; unfassbar gutes Timing - ein Match, dass er sicherlich nicht so schnell vergessen wird. Rob Cross hat wahnsinnig gut gespielt (bis auf zu viele Doppelfehler) und kann hier wirklich erhobenen Hauptes aus dem Stadion gehen. Das Glück war heute nicht bei ihm.

[@rudk2421]

Bist du Hopp oder Clemens?

[@johannes8410]

Wobei 40% eine sehr gute doppel quote ist. Humphries hatte halt fast 70% auf doppel...

[@sarahwelty9223]

Genau! Du hast Recht!

[@Introgamer14]

Beide haben A game gespielt. Luke halt A+ und Bobby eher A-. Fast 70% Doppel bei 23 Legs ist einfach schwer zu schlagen

[@Kosta1313]

Während des spiels hab ich mir gedacht dass sich einige spieler wahrsxheinlich genau so fühlten als sie ihr bestes spiel lieferten und van Gerwen sie zerstört hat

[@borgan1964]

[@thespudmanspud7350]

Qaulity darts from luke worth a few pennies de win world championship 😎

[@christrickett3291]

Well, I have this thing I do, I open KZbin, cover the screen with my hand, open the video and maximise the screen, you know, to hide the spoilers. But this time I accidentally changed the volume and saw the title just one leg in - and I knew what it meant. Unstoppable!

[@gerryboy3699]

Luke is undoubtably the best player in the world right now, but can he keep it going and for how long?

[@ceesvanderschoot9799]

Luck Humpries might be better then the Legend Phil Taylor , he is still so young and got such a long time too go still . And this guy got not a nerve is his body coolhand is the right name for him !!!!

[@johnmartin7158]

Perhaps technically yes Luke is better, but Phil was the greatest player of all time.

[@afaithfulsaying5158]

YES YES YES

[@kcrew2321]

Definitely the best player by far right now. Great chance to win at Ally Pally

[@shuble1]

I think you have to make Luke the favorite going to ally pally next month, all he seems to do now is win majors.

[@Kosta1313]

I watched the tourney and thought to myself. Will we have a day where all top 10 players are below 24 years of age. Darts havent seen its peak yet. Not even close

[@johnnyryan83]

Humphries been unplayable for the last few months. If he plays like this at the worlds nobody is stopping him

[@christrickett3291]

Yes, at the very least nobody will want to play him. Lucky for MVG the rankings will (at the time of writing) keep them apart until the final.

[@Rocky0Road]

Mvg is average nowdays
