Wright surprised: Top favorite Humphries flies out in the darts of darts!

After the game, Wright said: "I know that I can still play." This statement came after a particularly strong appearance that catapulted him into the quarter -finals, while Humphries, who had confidently performed before the match, could not call up his performance.
