Result: Humphries 1-6 Littler
Luke Humphries speaking to Sky Sports: "It's one of them games. It's hard work. He's so clinical. The first four sets, I missed darts to get in. Double 16 has been my friend for the last three years. Tonight, it wasn't. It's very unfortunate. When I was 4-0 down, I just wanted to give the crowd something. I wasn't playing for myself any more, I was playing for the crowd. I felt like it had got away from me. It's hard to take. It's disappointing because I felt like I was going to give him a lot better game than I did, but he was clinical in the big legs. Fair play to him, he was really good."
On losing four set-deciding legs: "Definitely. I'm not going to let these fans come here and [watch me lose] 6-0. I'm still fighting at 4-1 down. I was thinking, 'just give them more'. I did it with Mike De Decker last year. I wanted them to come here and have a game. I was desperate to win more sets and give them a lot more darts. I wasn't playing for myself, I played for the crowd. Unfortunately, doubling in wasn't very good tonight. I have to just get better, practice harder. If I don't, he will just run away with everything. I have to dedicate everything to being a dart player and work even harder than I ever have. I want to match him."
Result: Humphries 1-6 Littler
Luke Littler speaking to Sky Sports after winning the 2025 World Grand Prix title: "Very happy to tick it off, it's not the easiest tournament to win. This week has been so tough. Now I've picked the trophy up, this is one I can tick off and there's not many left.
On performing under pressure: "That's what I've learned in the past from the Matchplay, I have got to perform the big out shots and the big scores when Luke does put me under pressure. I think I played very well tonight. Luke was always behind me, I couldn't step off the gas. I'm just very happy to win.
On missing the nine-darter: "Even when I hit the 180, I just said to myself 'have a go,' but I didn't get it. There's always so many years to try and get that nine-darter in the double start. I'm just very happy to win."
On his performances this week: "I hit the 170, I hit all the 180s. Just the nine-darter that I'm missing. Very happy to win."
On the race for world number one: "It's definitely not a lot of prize money, especially what we guys play for. Luke will know I'm behind his back now, I'm onto him."
