For those unfamiliar with the "double in, double out" format used in the World Grand Prix, allow us to explain.

Unlike most other competitions, "double in, double out" means that players have to start and finish each leg on a double or the bullseye.

This in itself creates plenty of drama, especially when a player struggles to get their leg underway.

It also means that averages in "double in, double out" matches are often lower than they are in the traditional format, making Luke Humphries 100-plus average in his semi-final win over Ryan Joyce particularly impressive.

Mike de Decker has been the shock of the 2024 World Grand Prix so far, with the world number 36 preparing for his first major final.

De Decker is yet to play one of the eight seeded players at the Grand Prix in this year's event, but faces top seed Luke Humphries in the final.

There have been major scalps along the way though, with De Decker beating former world champion Gary Anderson and former Premier League winner James Wade.

In the semi-finals, De Decker beat fellow Belgian Dimitri Van den Bergh to set up a meeting with Humphries in tonight's final.

Luke Humphries entered the draw as the number one seed and survived a first round scare against Stephen Bunting.

Humphries lost each of the first five legs and had Bunting taken out double 16, Humphries would have lost 2-0 without claiming a single leg. Instead, he bounced back to win the match 2-1 in sets.

The world number one has dropped just three sets across his four matches, with Humphries' most convincing display coming in Saturday's semi-final victory over Ryan Joyce.

He did not drop a set in the' 5-0 win over Joyce, averaging 100.3 in the 'double in, double out' format and took out four 100+ checkouts.

Teenager Luke Littler went into the tournament as favourite after a stellar year but lost in the first round to Rob Cross on Monday.

The 17-year-old won the Premier League, having reached the final of the World Championship earlier in the year.

Littler hit six maximums in his match against the Englishman but at times struggled to get going in the double-start format.

After losing the first set, he levelled up at 1-1 in the second before Cross, 34, finished with a bullseye to claim only his third victory in the tournament.

The World Grand Prix has been a set play tournament rather than a legged format, like many tournaments are.

A set is the best of five legs, better known as the first player to win three legs.

The final is the best of 11 sets, which equates to the first player to win six sets.

Looking to end the World Grand Prix with his first major title is Mike de Decker of Belgium.

Nicknamed "The Real Deal", the 28-year-old entered the Grand Prix 36th in the PDC Order of Merit, guaranteeing himself a move into the top 30 for his performance at the Grand Prix.

Prior to the Grand Prix, De Decker had never progressed past the last 32 in a PDC major event before.

He was priced by some bookmakers at 150-1 to win this competition and is among the lower-ranked players to have featured at this year's Grand Prix.

De Decker won his first senior title earlier this year at the Players Championship in Milton Keynes, beating Ricky Evans in the final.
