Luke Humphries believes only one player has ‘performed at an absolutely incredible level’ at Alexandra Palace so far and that is Callan Rydz. The World Darts Championship is quickly reaching the fourth round stage, with some players already safely into the last 16 in north London.

There have been plenty of chances to impress, and while there have been a lot of good performances so far, the defending champion reckons only one person has really turned in a display somewhere near their very best. Cool Hand picked out Rydz’s 3-0 win over Romeo Grbavac in the opening round when the Riot averaged 107.06, dropping just two legs.

‘I’ve been watching it as a fan, so I’ve been watching a lot of the players,’ Humphries said after winning his third round match against Nick Kenny. ‘And I just kind of don’t really see anybody that’s really put their hand up and performed at an absolutely incredible level.
‘The only one off is Callan Rydz. I didn’t see that game but that’s the only one that’s really performed, to me. I mean Luke [Littler] had that incredible last set [against White] but before that he wasn’t firing on all cylinders. ‘And none of us have! So I think there’s a lot of pressure on everyone this year. I think everybody’s sort of seeing an opportunity, and it’s kind of making everyone try too hard.’.
