IN FOR THE WIN: Luke Humphries (right) celebrates victory against Luke Littler
LUKE LITTLER coasted into the semi-finals of the UK Open in Minehead, but world number one Luke Humphries was edged out by a vintage display from James Wade.
World champion Littler saw off Dutchman Gian van Veen 10-4, hitting seven 180s with a match average of just over 107 during Sunday’s afternoon session.
Humphries, though, was not able to follow on from his Premier League success in Exeter on Thursday night as he lost a last-leg decider to Wade.
