I'm number one so why try harder

Joyce got the win in the quarters to claw us a bit out of a hole in this tournament, still down so not ideal, but it is at least a bit of a recovery. Humphries is now seemingly winning everything in sight, with a great come from behind win to defeat MvG in the final, and pricing him as the favourite to bink the worlds is completely justified. New FRH rankings:

1 Luke Humphries (UP 1)

2 Michael Smith (DOWN 1)

3 Michael van Gerwen

4 Nathan Aspinall

5 Gerwyn Price

6 Peter Wright

7 Rob Cross

8 Jonny Clayton

9 Dave Chisnall

10 Damon Heta (UP 1)

11 Danny Noppert (DOWN 1)

12 Joe Cullen

13 Dirk van Duijvenbode

14 James Wade (UP 1)

15 Andrew Gilding (DOWN 1)

16 Dimitri van den Bergh

17 Stephen Bunting (UP 2)

18 Ross Smith (DOWN 1)

19 Josh Rock (DOWN 1)

20 Chris Dobey

Huge congrats also to Luke Littler for binking the world youth, fantastic display and I'm sure nobody can wait to see what impact he will make on the pro tour in 2024 and beyond, probably for as long as he's interested in doing so.

PDPA quali tomorrow, I'm going to go live on Twitch soon after the draw on sixfour64 to get close to instant reaction, then I'll start posting up previews. Won't neglect the WDF side of things, but that will probably be just a fairly short post listing tips similar to what you might see for a Euro Tour event, just based on the time I'm likely to have to do it. We're in the fun stage of the season people!
