Wayne Mardle says he is unsure when Luke Humphries' darting dominance will stop after the world No 1 claimed his maiden World Matchplay title in Blackpool on Sunday. The world No 1 celebrated a maiden Betfred World Matchplay title with a thrilling 18-15 victory over Michael van Gerwen at the Winter Gardens. Humphries led for much of the contest, but he was forced to fend off a valiant fightback from Van Gerwen on his way to lifting the coveted Phil Taylor Trophy at the Empress Ballroom.
'He felt that there was a little bit more he could have got out of it and so many top players would have been out the door and in the car,' said 'Hawaii 501' Mardle. 'Michael knows. But like he said, it's about moving forward. he's won so much and he understands the game. 'He was in tears when Phil Taylor did a proper number on him a few years ago and whilst this wasn't a proper number, he's a threat and they all know he's a threat.
