    It is simply relentless from The Nuke - he always finds another gear, another level. 160 checkout vs 4? No problem. Simply outstanding and well deserved World Number 1 and likely retaining Grand Slam champion.

    Luke Humphries talking to Sky Sports: "I am really proud. It is three finals on the trot I've lost. I'm ready for the Worlds now. I am going to win the Worlds.

    "I am declaring war on him. I'm playing good. Tiredness just crept in at the end there. We're going to go to war at the World Championships, we'll see who is the one there.

    'I said to him he deserves everything he gets. He's a massive advocate for darts. I've never really felt like world number one, I've never felt like I've got the attention I deserve. He's such an incredible player."

    Do you feel like you two are in a league of your own: "Yeah, I do. I don't feel arrogant saying that. What can us two do? We're on opposite sides of the draw and people can stop us. I am trying to stop him and I can't. It is up to everyone else to stop us. At the moment us two are playing a level of this sport that is better than everyone else. I want to play another world final against him."

    More from Luke Littler on the World Championships to Sky Sports: "Everyone is going to battle for it and me and Luke will. Everyone is looking at the million pounds. Luke wants to get the title back and I want to go back-to-back. We don't even look at the money. These titles don't come around often.

    "People look back on the history and see the Grand Slam, the Players and then the Worlds. You can't go off that and expect someone to win the Worlds. It's not that easy. We go to Minehead next week and see what happens there."

    Luke Littler, speaking to Sky Sports: "I've got to say it was a tough job getting up this morning. No one likes playing in the afternoon but you have to get through it. Once I got over the line, I knew I was number one.

    "Luke played amazingly. It was a weird game. Glad to go back-to-back. We're never going to run away with anything. Do the hard work up until the final but then relax and let them go.

    "The 160 to go in the break at 11-9. I was gone first six darts of that leg. He tried to hit the 170 and he said 'that's what happens when you try and hit it'."
