Luke Littler will be taking note of Wayne Mardle’s warning after Luke Humphries was dumped out of the Grand Slam of Darts. Reigning champion Humphries fsuffered a chastening defeat against James Wade and failed to even get out of Group A in a dismal defence of his crown.
“The best player in the world is out. Anyone now will be thinking why can’t they go and win this,” Mardle said on Sky Sports.
“We’ve got to that point in darts now where no one is untouchable. When the top boys play well, they win, but when they play poorly, anyone can beat them.
“The last few months have proven that. The rest of the world will be thinking this might be their chance now the reigning champion is out.”
