Well losing with an 103 average and a 40% checkout percentage you would win 9 out 10 games. This was not Cross playing bad but Humphries playing exceptional.
Humphries is surely going to be a world champion sooner or later. A few months ago I took odds of him to win this years Worlds at 16/1 and now he’s 9/2 favourite just behind MVG and Price
@@josecovasbiedma1519 Perhaps you should've watched the footage, and ignored the comments, pal. Cos people in the comments are sure going to be talking about the end result, eh!
Best man won. This young man is on a mission. Great to see after his battle with anxiety. Rob has had a good tournament as well but hard to get Luke right now especially double header as well but great tournament and good side story for the American Stowe
That was one of the best performances I have seen in a major final. We knew there would be a new winner of the Grand Slam this year and I wanted a Cross vs Humphries final to see who would win the Eric Bristow trophy and that’s what we got but that final was absolutely ridiculous because Cross played well throughout the final and he never dropped his level, against another opponent it probably would have been enough to take the trophy but against Luke Humphries playing like this, what on earth can u do besides try ur best which is what Cross did. That was the highest losing average in a Grand Slam final and I’m sure Rob will take a lot of positives from this tournament coz he was fantastic and I congratulate him for how he played. To Cool Hand Luke Humphries congrats on an unbelievable performance and for winning another major so soon after winning ur first one. I said a few months ago that the way Humphries is playing, he will win multiple majors in the future and others said he doesn’t have the mentality to do it but I believed he would and when I met him at the Grand Prix after his quarter final vs Peter Wright, I said to him I believe u will win multiple majors and he said I hope so. Well the only thing that has shocked me is how quickly he became a multiple major champion. Twice in two months taking the Grand Prix and the Grand Slam. Absolutely sensational. He is the best player in the world on current form and he should be put as favourite for the World Championship. Smith, Price, MVG etc all need to up their level coz Luke is coming for that world title and will take some stopping.
Fair play the Luke the guys in absolutely phenomenal form and never looked like getting beaten tonight. Gary was the only one who really challenged him in the knockouts and just fell off in the last 2 legs. Bring on the worlds💪
It's absolutely incredible, because in a matter of MONTHS, Luke Humphries has become in my opinion the best player in the world currently, I've never seen darts like his over the past number of weeks
hab selten gesehen dass ein Spieler den anderen, der quasi den gleichen Average spielt (und das auch noch klar ü100), so krass düpiert. Humphries war wirklich wie vom anderen Stern; unfassbar gutes Timing - ein Match, dass er sicherlich nicht so schnell vergessen wird. Rob Cross hat wahnsinnig gut gespielt (bis auf zu viele Doppelfehler) und kann hier wirklich erhobenen Hauptes aus dem Stadion gehen. Das Glück war heute nicht bei ihm.
Während des spiels hab ich mir gedacht dass sich einige spieler wahrsxheinlich genau so fühlten als sie ihr bestes spiel lieferten und van Gerwen sie zerstört hat
For those that don't know Luke is a real top guy with no 'side'. He regularly supports other players when they're not playing well. A win for Luke is a win for the good side of humanity. And he's not a bad darts player either!!!
I know things can go wrong, accidents, life problems, loss of form etc but can anybody seriously not see Luke being World No 1 by January and keeping it for a few years? Not even Beau Greaves would have beaten him tonight.
Cracking performance by Luke. I still think they should change the format for the semis and final. They should be played on separate days in my opinion.
Well, I have this thing I do, I open TH-cam, cover the screen with my hand, open the video and maximise the screen, you know, to hide the spoilers. But this time I accidentally changed the volume and saw the title just one leg in - and I knew what it meant. Unstoppable!
I watched the tourney and thought to myself. Will we have a day where all top 10 players are below 24 years of age. Darts havent seen its peak yet. Not even close
Luck Humpries might be better then the Legend Phil Taylor , he is still so young and got such a long time too go still . And this guy got not a nerve is his body coolhand is the right name for him !!!!
Fair play 🤭 Flukey Lukey , jus won da BIGGEST egg CUP 🥳 . Jus kiddin this boys got an A game ! Robby was out of sorts 😢 , jus met a man in better form ! .Congrats da pair o dem 👍🍻🇬🇧
They keep saying luke is possibly the best in the world right now, hes been the best for about 6 months and hes only getting better and the confidence to back it up
I had the pleasure of being good friends with eric,back in the day in london, when he played for kings cross,if you know where that is,where I played super league, all the boys. Bristow, gardener, browny,Steve that is,. Colin baker,
Dam. Big fan of Rob. Great run though. Luke Humphries is an ABSOLUTE BEAST on the oche. Scary good. Nothing cool about that hand at all. Plus he seems like a good bloke (did I use "bloke" right?).
I'd say Price in terms of high averages and dominance but he has bad games between them same could be said for mvg but humphries is in a perfect form would'nt be surprised if he becomes world champ this year
This cool hand Luke is no longer the bridesmaid and always the bride 😂🎉😂🎉😂your a serial winner and well deserved too.the winning penny has finally dropped on a tasty £150,000 prize too 🎉😂❤
Even though it s a grand slam I would have never immagened winner takes so much money.Biliard is played worldwide a lot more and players don't get paid nowhere near.Such a shame😢😢😢
They can't drink alcohol on the stage, I wouldn't know what they do drink but I am pretty sure it's water. I don't know if they can have a beer between sessions but I do know that they sound pretty sober when they interview, so I don't think they are too drunk.
Well losing with an 103 average and a 40% checkout percentage you would win 9 out 10 games. This was not Cross playing bad but Humphries playing exceptional.
Awful. Poor dood. I like Rob too. I like them both, really.
Humphries turning into an unbeatable alien
@@josephhunter1627 He's really something.
It’s crazy how good he is
And 103avg 40% CO ... over 24 legs!!
Well deserved from Luke tonight. Congratulations to him
Utterly stunning. Luke is taking darts to a new level. Fair play to Rob also as he didn’t do much wrong. It was a great watch.
Humphries is surely going to be a world champion sooner or later. A few months ago I took odds of him to win this years Worlds at 16/1 and now he’s 9/2 favourite just behind MVG and Price
He's favourite with Irish bookies
Based off of form, Luke should be made the favourite.
Legs/Sets format is a different beast.@@yusufluhar5881
You should've bet your house on him to win.
Wow. 16 to 4.5? That's a good bet, even if it loses. Keep making bets like that.
Congrats to Luke! What a performance! That was amazing. Gary was the only worthy opponent to him in this tournament. It's gonna be a great World Cup.
Thx for spoiler idi...

@@josecovasbiedma1519 why the hell do you read the comments if you haven't watched the game yet?
Yeah coz Cross was crap with that 105 average in the final....
@@winnerwinnerchickendinner-y4w nobody said that he was crap (except you)..
No chance of Luke missing the next Premier League.
I thought he would be in the last one on merit
And deservely so , he's a very very good player
@@evannierenberg1007 same here. But they chose Dimitri instead... but hey... he didn't qualify for this so... works out in the end.
If he doesn't get a Premier League spot, there's no justice
Two majors in 2023. Yeah, he definitely deserves a spot.
Championship darts is now the best spectator sport at present . Wonderful crowds and amazing skill from the players.
Best man won. This young man is on a mission. Great to see after his battle with anxiety. Rob has had a good tournament as well but hard to get Luke right now especially double header as well but great tournament and good side story for the American Stowe

YOUVE NOT SEEN MVG IN BEASTMODE THEN COS THIS AINT SHIT COMPARED TO THAT OLD HYPE IT ALL UP BOY...
@@AlastairBarkermvg would wipe the floor with Luke on his best day.
@@AlastairBarkermvg would wipe the floor with Luke on his best day.
Yes he would but mvg is not at his prime anymore and i dont think he will never come back. MVG still played the best darts by far we have ever witness
Congrats to Luke, he has the best throwing action in the game today
Humphries played incredibly. What a game! What a tournament!
That 170 was insane.
All 170s are insane.
No it wasn’t it only just went in the bull 😂
@@AlanBrown-d8w Any 170 is insane, the diameter of the bull is just shy of 13mm.
Nice to see well behaved and courteous players up there!
Fair play the Luke the guys in absolutely phenomenal form and never looked like getting beaten tonight. Gary was the only one who really challenged him in the knockouts and just fell off in the last 2 legs. Bring on the worlds💪
Exactly. Only Gary was playing incredibly well & nearly beat Luke. His checkouts were the best I have seen all week . 😊😊
2:20 Percentage Shot
Anderson was the hardest opponent of Luke.
That game deserved to be a Final.
Agreed , the best match of the entire 1/4 's and the entire tournament .
It's absolutely incredible, because in a matter of MONTHS, Luke Humphries has become in my opinion the best player in the world currently, I've never seen darts like his over the past number of weeks
How can you not love the darts!! 🔥
What a brilliant display from Humphries,, congratulations 👏
World champ in next couple years. Unbelievable standard in a long format.
NOPE.
How's andermoan doing??
Hard to pick for the WC title.
Price, Smith, MVG, Aspinall, Wright and now Luke. This one will be wiiiiide open.
Add Anderson ....he showed he has the passion back & will be very dangerous comes World's.
Add Searle and Van Barneveld
just Searle & Chizzy , VBN is off for his come back . @@UnitedReds99
outrageous. nobody has played darts like this since Phil. Cool Hand is a naughty, naughty man. Look forward to the next few tournies.
hab selten gesehen dass ein Spieler den anderen, der quasi den gleichen Average spielt (und das auch noch klar ü100), so krass düpiert. Humphries war wirklich wie vom anderen Stern; unfassbar gutes Timing - ein Match, dass er sicherlich nicht so schnell vergessen wird.
Rob Cross hat wahnsinnig gut gespielt (bis auf zu viele Doppelfehler) und kann hier wirklich erhobenen Hauptes aus dem Stadion gehen. Das Glück war heute nicht bei ihm.
Bist du Hopp oder Clemens?
Wobei 40% eine sehr gute doppel quote ist. Humphries hatte halt fast 70% auf doppel...
Genau! Du hast Recht!
Beide haben A game gespielt. Luke halt A+ und Bobby eher A-.
Fast 70% Doppel bei 23 Legs ist einfach schwer zu schlagen
Während des spiels hab ich mir gedacht dass sich einige spieler wahrsxheinlich genau so fühlten als sie ihr bestes spiel lieferten und van Gerwen sie zerstört hat
Well done Luke, you blew him away. 👍
For those that don't know Luke is a real top guy with no 'side'. He regularly supports other players when they're not playing well. A win for Luke is a win for the good side of humanity. And he's not a bad darts player either!!!

Relax, his needs to do this over a few years, not a one season wonder
Relaxed! Just managed it as you were writing.
Smooth as silk congratulations 🇦🇺
incredible darts from Luke.Cross didnt play so badly but he was just blown away by hurricane Humphries.Defo fave for the World Championship now.
Seems such a nice guy does luke, very respectful of other players
Damn he's now the favorite to win it all
Brilliant, best player in the world for me..,
played well very well 👏🏽
Its actually incredible the level of darts is nowadays one miss small or major could cost the match mad lukes been amazing all year
Oh damn he's gonna do some damage at the world champs
Cracking performance by Luke. I still think they should change the format for the semis and final. They should be played on separate days in my opinion.
That you Deserved a lot Luke🥳🍾🥂🇳🇴
Massive talent 👍🏴
Good to see the real best player of the tournament win
Best around by far currently can't see anyone stopping him in the world's tbh
Luke is a great guy.
Love him ❤️
I love Rob Cross' walk
Best player in the world right now.
Geezer is a freak mate 🙌🏻
Gary Anderson vs Luke humphries championship final
I’m calling it
THEN YOU ARE CLUELESS.
Well they were the two best players this week.@@AlastairBarker
He play well he deserves
Since 7 years ago.. Luke is always my favourite to move further and he did it today my bro.. Congrats from Malaysia fan ya
luke is amazing,congrats champ
Cool Hand steamrolled Voltage and adds another one next to the Grand Prix.. big!
Cross has played so well. But Luke was on another planet
Got 20/1 for the world's 7/2 now go on cool hand luke !! Leeds united Kings Europe!! Love ❤ his dad
Get in the queue.
Luke's the cool hand savage.
Amazing match! Well played by both
Luke MVG of the future but without the charisma 😍
This guy is a real chance on winning the worlds .
Surely this has concentrated his place in the Premiere League next year. Theres just no way they cant pick him
If Luke continues to play like that..he will be world champion..Im his biggest fan ever in my top 3
1. MVG
2. COOL HAND LUKE
3. JOHNNY CLAYTON
Well, I have this thing I do, I open TH-cam, cover the screen with my hand, open the video and maximise the screen, you know, to hide the spoilers.
But this time I accidentally changed the volume and saw the title just one leg in - and I knew what it meant.
Unstoppable!
So so pleased for luke carrys on like this he will be a world champ very soon this yr maybee too soon hopefuly not .
Congratulations! 🎆
Humphries been unplayable for the last few months. If he plays like this at the worlds nobody is stopping him
Yes, at the very least nobody will want to play him. Lucky for MVG the rankings will (at the time of writing) keep them apart until the final.
Mvg is average nowdays
I watched the tourney and thought to myself. Will we have a day where all top 10 players are below 24 years of age. Darts havent seen its peak yet. Not even close
Congrats Cool Hand! 👏
Luke has got the most economical throw. Not alot can go wrong with an action like that. Whats his odds in the Worlds?
Definitely the best player by far right now. Great chance to win at Ally Pally
Luke is undoubtably the best player in the world right now, but can he keep it going and for how long?
No doubt, Luke best at moment
the most niceely game to see was humphries anderson
Qaulity darts from luke worth a few pennies de win world championship 😎
Luck Humpries might be better then the Legend Phil Taylor , he is still so young and got such a long time too go still . And this guy got not a nerve is his body coolhand is the right name for him !!!!
Perhaps technically yes Luke is better, but Phil was the greatest player of all time.
Brilliant
It wasn't even close congrats Luke
I think you have to make Luke the favorite going to ally pally next month, all he seems to do now is win majors.
Fair play 🤭 Flukey Lukey , jus won da BIGGEST egg CUP 🥳 . Jus kiddin this boys got an A game ! Robby was out of sorts 😢 , jus met a man in better form ! .Congrats da pair o dem 👍🍻🇬🇧
Boom
Facts
YES YES YES
When does luke go up in the rankings
I'm not gonna blame Rob for this loss, because he doesn't deserve it. The problem didn't really lie with him, but it was just in who he faced.
That was fantastic from Luke!! What was the tournament winning average? 👏💯
105 mate unreal stuff!!
If you have a look, the tournament winning averages column hasn’t been updated on Wikipedia. That’s if Luke averaged 105 for the tournament.
They keep saying luke is possibly the best in the world right now, hes been the best for about 6 months and hes only getting better and the confidence to back it up
I had the pleasure of being good friends with eric,back in the day in london, when he played for kings cross,if you know where that is,where I played super league, all the boys.
Bristow, gardener, browny,Steve that is,.
Colin baker,
Make no mistakes this final up with the greats the numbers do not lie cool hand is on fire and voltage played a blinder .
Dam. Big fan of Rob. Great run though.
Luke Humphries is an ABSOLUTE BEAST on the oche. Scary good. Nothing cool about that hand at all. Plus he seems like a good bloke (did I use "bloke" right?).
Yes, perfectly, but one tiny thing, ON the oche, not at the oche.
@@christrickett3291 😄 I'm getting there, give me time.
well done luke humpries
Luke is the best in the world right now who agrees
👇
NOT ME.
@@AlastairBarker who is then
@@jamieosborne884it’s still MVG and I‘m pretty sure if he‘s back in time with his mental he will be World Champion 2024
I'd say Price in terms of high averages and dominance but he has bad games between them same could be said for mvg but humphries is in a perfect form would'nt be surprised if he becomes world champ this year
And Gerwyn Price and Gary Anderson are also better in my opinion
1 MVG
2 Anderson
3 Price
4 Humphries
*_CoolHandLuke_* 💪💪💪
Humphries smashed it
*_#CoolHandLuke_* 💪💪💪
Why did Roberto Carlos give the trophee to Rob Cross??
Because they are both overrated.
What happened to Rob Cross?
104 average.... I want it to happen to me as well!!
Nothing humphries was just relentless rob played really well
He came second. Not bad that. Not least because the lad who came first would have beaten anybody as easily.
Amazing final!
The only negative is that Kirk Bevins wasn't the caller. I find it odd that PDC think Huw Ware is better than him.
They don't, it's done on rota, although I don't know exactly how they do it. But it's not a favourites/bests up approach.
@@christrickett3291 Oh okay I thought it was like football when they pick the "best referee" for the final.
Congratulations to the Grand Slam of Darts Champion 🏆 🎯👍
Top 4 in world get guaranteed spot.
Who we got boys and girls? Late 90s Phil Taylor or current Luke Humphries?
Its a juicy one 🍺
This cool hand Luke is no longer the bridesmaid and always the bride 😂🎉😂🎉😂your a serial winner and well deserved too.the winning penny has finally dropped on a tasty £150,000 prize too 🎉😂❤
NEEDS TO DO IT FOR 10 YEARS NOT ONCE.
This is a second major in a row
Darts is in a very healthy place...👊🏆
Even though it s a grand slam I would have never immagened winner takes so much money.Biliard is played worldwide a lot more and players don't get paid nowhere near.Such a shame😢😢😢
Lukey spooky 😊
What is it that they drink? Are they allowed to drink an alcoholic breverage when they break?
They can't drink alcohol on the stage, I wouldn't know what they do drink but I am pretty sure it's water. I don't know if they can have a beer between sessions but I do know that they sound pretty sober when they interview, so I don't think they are too drunk.
Imagine what cross would be like if it was alcohol 😂😂
Wade one of the all time greats. 😅😅
Cool hand.....
