That would have meant glory in the Euros would have given him a clean sweep of ranking titles in 13 months.
He said: “If I do (win the Euros), I’ll be devastated as I missed two darts at the UK Open and that would be all of the ranking majors done in my career.“
I of course will be really up for winning this one. I’m going to take it one step at a time. “I’m not defending anything.
Everything I’ve won, I’ve won them titles. I’m only trying to retain. It’s going to be incredibly hard to win like I did last year. I didn’t retain the Grand Prix.
But if I win this one, who’s to say I can’t go on a good run at the Slam, Players and Worlds.“But you have to understand that you’re not going to win everything.
I’m just going to try my best.”Humphries smashed Nathan Aspinall 6-1 in his opening Euros clash.He added:“ I felt it was a really good game. I felt my scoring was really good.
I hit a lot of 180s, I think Nathan hit a lot of 180s.He was really consistent, I think doubles in a couple of legs let him down.
But the 122, the 152 they were just massive shots that turned the game around for me and it’s something I can do.
He felt like he did last week when he played Luke (Littler), he didn’t really do much wrong.“I don’t think I was unplayable there.
I think if Nathan would’ve hit his doubles when he had his chance it could’ve been 4-4 even though he was playing really good.
