New jersey! Humphries reveals the reasons
Littler takes away Aspinall
The reason: Nathan Aspinall, who lurks in fifth place in the table just behind the Dutch, lost his quarter -finals against an unspectacularly playing Luke Littler (4: 6) and also said goodbye early. Particularly bitter from Aspinall’s point of view: he even had the slightly better average (95.81) than his young opponent (91.41), but weakened the checkout.
Gerwyn Price is already in the semi -finals. He prevailed 6: 5 against Rob Cross in a game characterized by mistakes on both sides. Cross omitted two matchdarts before the Welsh put the lid on it in the Decider. Stephen Bunting defeated Chris Dobey (6: 5).
“It was very good weeks for me”
For Humphries, the evening in Leeds is a kind of home game. He is a glowing fan of the English football club Leeds United, who recently rose to the Premier League. “It was very good weeks for me as a football fan. I hope that it will also be a good night for me today and I win the day,” said the 30 -year -old in advance in Sport1 program Madhouse .
Humphries even ran in a new jersey that is held in blue and yellow, the colors of his favorite club. “It is a shirt inspired by Leed’s United. I did it last year, this time the color yellow is a little more,” he said. “I am very satisfied with what came out of it. It’s a great design.”
