World Masters runner-up Luke Humphries speaking to ITV4: "You look back on the whole game. It's hard to pick holes in it. It's only the three at double top, that's the pressure he puts you under. He has shown that through class. He never folds under pressure. I think he's the greatest darts player who has ever lived.
"It's exciting. I can go away and think he's in a good place. I'm feeling really good about my game. I'm gutted not to win it but I think I proved why I'm still the second best player in the world. It's not the biggest achievement, I want to be the best."

Luke Littler talking to ITV4: "I'm shattered, absolutely knackered. Going into the last break at 5-4, I said I have nothing left, absolutely nothing, but I just managed to dig deep. I was fully focussed and managed to get the job done.
"It has been a weird week and tough at times but this is why we battle every game and every leg, and I've come out victorious. It has been me and Luke in the first major of the year and I'm sure it will continue."

From Thursday evening to now, the standard of darts has been utterly ridiculous.
Littler 5-5 Humphries
Exhilarating stuff from both men, trading two and three treble visits at a time it would be easy to fold.

Both Lukes have reinvigorated my love of darts. Reading live texts on holiday in Mendoza, Argentina.

While these sets are shorter than traditional set play, the numbers Luke Humphries and Luke Littler are posting are quite simply ridiculous.
Littler, currently one set down and chasing back-to-back set wins for the World Masters title, is averaging 104.27 after the first nine sets.
If that was not good enough, leader and defending champion Humphries is going at 106.04 per visit.

This leg is quite important...

It is easy to forget just how much ahead these two are of the rest of the darting world on their day. Breath-taking to watch.
