This final could be absolutely anything.
We know how well Luke Littler is playing and I don't think Luke Humphries is playing any worse than Littler at his best. I really do believe he's playing that well.
It is his consistent play that is standing out for me. He's played nine sets today and won all of them.

He can beat himself up but he isn't doing that. He's is making an effort to get better and he looks like he did a year or so again when he was winning anything.
There is no negatives at all. He limited Gian van Veen's efforts at doubles.
