World Grand Prix darts: Luke Littler beats Jonny Clayton to book another final showdown with Luke Humphries

Luke Littler booked a blockbuster World Grand Prix showdown against world No 1 Luke Humphries after a 5-1 semi-final victory over Jonny Clayton in Leicester.

Littler survived three match darts and fought back from two sets down to sneak past Gerwyn Price - in a final-leg decider - the previous evening, although produced an improved display to storm past Clayton at the Mattioli Arena.

The world No 2 fired an 97.26 average and 10 maximums during a one-sided display, where Littler raced through the first two sets and bounced back from losing the third by snatching the fourth with a dramatic 140 finish in a final-leg decider.

Littler then raced through the next two sets without dropping a leg to move into another TV major final against 2023 champion Humphries, who is through to the World Grand Prix final for a third consecutive year.

Humphries also held a commanding 4-1 advantage against Danny Noppert, in a match where he fired 14 maximums and four ton-plus finishes, before he recovered from a mid-match wobble to close out a 5-3 victory over the Dutchman.

Littler has got the better of 'Cool Hand' in 14 of the 24 previous meetings, including six of the 10 clashes so far in 2025, although Humphries has won three of the past five finals in a PDC major or World Series Event.
