World No. 1 Luke Humphries Destroys Ryan Joyce to Reach World Grand Prix Final
World number one Luke Humphries delivered an emphatic performance to crush fellow Englishman Ryan Joyce 5-0 in the World Grand Prix semi-final in Leicester, setting up a final showdown with Belgium’s Mike de Decker. Humphries, the reigning champion, showcased his exceptional form, conceding only three legs and averaging 100, with eight 180s. This is prepared by SSP.
While Joyce, who had previously defeated fourth seed Rob Cross, scored well and averaged over 94, he couldn't withstand the relentless Humphries, who delivered impressive checkouts, including a 144 and a 146 finish. Reflecting on the performance, Humphries stated: "Ryan played brilliantly, yet I had to perform at my best. It was one of my standout performances."
Separately, De Decker etched his place in history by being the first Belgian to reach the World Grand Prix final after beating compatriot Dimitri Van Den Bergh 5-2. Despite initial nerves, De Decker settled after the third set. Recording checkouts of 120 and 150 and throwing nine 180s propelled him to victory. Facing Humphries in his first major final, De Decker expressed his readiness, aiming to improve his nerves for the critical match.
