More from Luke Humphries on world champion Luke Littler: “Luke Littler, the way he’s playing is unbelievable. Watching that Michael van Gerwen game - it’d be very lucky for someone to match it and have another game like that.

"He’s by far one of the greatest darts players I’ve seen in my career. I’m not disrespecting myself, I just think he’s the best player in the world and if he goes out, then I’m the man to beat. But he is definitely the one to beat.

"He smashes in the trebles and the doubles. But this is what happened to me last year, everyone wants to beat you.

"He’s still the best player in the world but I know that I can still play at a decent standard."

Night one winner Luke Humphries, speaking to Sky Sports: “I thought I played pretty well in the first game, then against Michael [van Gerwen] I was very fortunate.

"It’s not like him to miss that amount of doubles but in that eighth or ninth leg, he let me in. Then in the final, me and Chris noticed there was a bit of a breeze that was hard to play through.

"But they were blowing my darts into the doubles so I was happy. Hopefully there’s a breeze more often!"

On aims for this year: "I’m happy to get a good start. My goal is to get into the top four, that’s all that matters. Finish second, finish third, fourth – it does not matter.

“Great start and I thought I followed on from last weekend [winning the World Masters].

“Last year I knew it was going to be tough and it was. You just learn all the time, you always want to be better.

“I think this is the hardest Premier League for a long, long time. For me, nights like this, you’ve got to be careful or they might not happen as often as you want.

"It’s important that you get off to a good start because the last two years I haven’t got off to a great start in the seasons.

“This year there is a lot more players in form. I think the PDC made the right call, the right players are in.

"It is going to be a very tough Premier League, you’re not going to see someone stuck at the bottom for a long time. It’s going to chop and change."

Luke Humphries averaged 95.86, surprisingly slightly down on Chris Dobey's 96.88.

It was also two 180s apiece but on the doubles, Humphries was immense.

Six of seven for 85.7% with Dobey one of four for 25%.

Utter dominance from Luke Humphries and he wins night one!

Fantastic display by the world number one. His finishing, in particular, was sublime.

It meant once Chris Dobey fell behind, getting back into the match was nigh-on impossible.

Five points on the board for Humphries, three for Dobey.

Chris Dobey makes sure to avoid the 6-0 - and in some style.

The way Luke Humphries is playing, he knows he needs to take out 126 with Cool Hand on 120.

He does just that, hitting the bull and then get an appreciative fist bump from Humphries.

A masterclass in finishing from Luke Humphries.

Another leg in which Chris Dobey looks to have the edge and there is a chance of a break back.

But when he fails to take out 76, Cool Hand returns and gets the 100 checkout, finishing on double 10 again.

Goodness me, Luke Humphries steals another leg!

Chris Dobey is cruising before a 180 from the world number one ramps up the pressure.

Dobey misses a pair of darts at double and Humphries nips in to hit double 14 for 4-0.

Luke Humphries has raced into a three-leg lead.

Tops seals a 16-dart hold.

It's already looking a long way back for Chris Dobey.

Sloppy from Chris Dobby when in control of the leg, needing 89.

He doesn't even leave a dart at double and Luke Humphries swoops in to take out 100.

Finished on double 10.

Both players are complaining about a bit of a draught in the arena... then Luke Humphries decides it doesn't matter and takes out 128.

Treble 18, treble 18, double 10.

Draught? What draught?

Here we go then. Who will win on night one?

Luke Humphries to throw first.

For the last time tonight, it's time for the walk-ons...

One last game to end what has been an epic opening night of the 2025 Premier League.

World number one Luke Humphries will be the big favourite but Chris Dobey has already seen off Gerwyn Price and Rob Cross and will fancy his chances of taking the win in Northern Ireland.

• Chris Dobey 6-4 Rob Cross
• Michael van Gerwen 5-6 Luke Humphries

Contrasting semi-finals but the end result is that we'll see Chris Dobey take on Luke Humphries in the final.
