    Humphries looking like he likes the 108 finish!

    That missed double to go 5-2 up. Brilliant comeback though.

    My final word on the subject. Seeing as you deserve a reply. It pays to read all correspondence. As for doubling down read the thread. Not once. Having to reply to those who read a reply but dont know what prompted it in the first place.
    So
    I think you need to look elsewhere.
    I respected Marc's post as I was not the one who created the off topic. Your opening post poured fuel on the fire btw. Guilty until proved innocent. Shame you also didnt research the Adam Johnson story as a Non-comparison
    Now close the thread down Marc.

    That accidental treble 18 to leave double two, then missing it, has arguably cost him the match.

    Lost that set - and then the next three as well.

    He won’t come back from 6-4 down, and you have to say Luke Humphries will be a worthy champion in all fairness.

    Gutted for him. Cos that treble 18 mistake, and if he took that. 5-2, and would have gone on.

    But I think it's too much now

    Absolutely brilliant from Humphries. 5 sets on the spin. Well deserved.

    Congratulations to Humphries. He deserved it and dealt with the pressure of playing the latest in a long line of the next big thing, really well.

    Won a TV tournament in four consecutive months. Easily the best there is at the moment.

    He never panicked. I can only liken it to Stephen Hendry in his prime at snooker. Pure ice.

    Littler fell apart in the end allowing Humphries to take 5 straight sets. The only time he's been under any real pressure in the tournament. He's done brilliant to get to the final but well played Humphries.
