2 w. ago Humphries given almighty scare by Clemens magic at PDC World Championship

The 2024 world champion won but faced an unexpected test against a man whose game had basically been in hibernation for three yearsEveryone says they want a good solid test at this stage of the tournament. Keep the skills sharp, keep the mind keen. But how big a test? How tough? How many beats per minute? How much spinal fluid do you want to shed? How close do you really want to get to smelling the paint on the exit door?Luke Humphries reckons he got it about right here, and for now we will have to take his word for it. But the outpouring of emotion we saw at the conclusion of his 4-2 win over Gabriel Clemens was a measure of just how thoroughly the 2024 world champion had been rattled by a man whose game had basically been in hibernation for the past three years.

Anderson holds off Wattimena, Ryan Searle throughCross books last-16 meeting with Luke LittlerHe’s just turned 55. He hasn’t won a major in seven years. He doesn’t practise anywhere near as much as he used to, wouldn’t do the Premier League even if he won the world championship, and secretly wouldn’t mind losing so he could get home to see the kids. And still. In this or any year, dare you count out Gary Anderson?Over seven taut sets in which both players occasionally touched the hem of greatness, the 2015 and 2016 world champion edged out the rapid Jermaine Wattimena of the Netherlands, winning a nerve-shredding deciding set by five legs to three.
