Luke Littler handed feisty UK Open draw as Luke Humphries faces female world No. 1 | Other | Sport
Luke Littler and Luke Humphries have learned their opponents for the UK Open draw as the darts stars face difficult tests in their opening matches. Players will compete for the £110,000 top prize and the coveted title across the weekend in Minehead, with a total prize fund of £600,000 on offer to the players, which is paid out to the remaining 128 players. World champion Littler will take on Peter Wright in what could prove to be a feisty battle, with no love lost between the two players in their past clashes. Wright has largely been complimentary about Littler, but the 18-year-old’s effortless excellence in darts with little practice has irked his more experienced opponent on previous occasions.
Humphries, the world No. 1, will take on his female equivalent Beau Greaves, who breezed her way past three opponents in the first stage of the tournament.
