Although the competition is serious, Humphries is confident in his game despite the tough few months.

“It was a hard three months.

Readiness for New Challenges

Humphries is preparing for the upcoming challenges of the season, such as the Pro Tour and the World Series finals. He noted:

“I plan to perform on the Pro Tour in top form. The entire calendar is already in the finish, and if I want to stay number one and become world champion again, I know I have to put in the effort. It all starts from this moment.”

Czech fans played a crucial role in Humphries' victory, and he sincerely thanked them for their support.

“Sometimes I feel like I’m not getting the love I deserve, but here I felt it.

“Every game, the crowd was behind me. You don’t win three out of three in one place for no reason.”

In conclusion, he emphasized that the support from the crowd gave him inspiration and desire to win:

“If I could play all 14 Euro Tours in this room, I would do it. It means a lot.”

Luke Humphries continues to affirm his status as one of the leading darts players. His words about the new generation of athletes point to the prospects that youth opens up in this sport. After all, alongside legends like Humphries, new stars are capable of creating an exciting future for darts.
