After a strong series, Van Gerwen suffered a painful defeat against Humphries in the Munich final | Darts

Van Gerwen met an unleashed Humphries in the final, who took a break in the third leg and cashed in with a 112 finish for 3-1. After that there was no stopping the Englishman anymore. He threw a 170 finish and ended the match with an excellent average of 112.66.

Van Gerwen could not keep up with Humphries’ incredibly high level and achieved an average of 96.80. As a result, the Brabander could forget his fourth victory at the German Darts Grand Prix. Humphries previously won the final in 2022.

Van Gerwen’s big defeat was quite surprising. Earlier in the day he had impressed in all his games. For example, he left crowd favorite Martin Schindler without a chance in the semi-finals (7-2) and he also won against Jermaine Wattimena (6-2) and Joe Cullen (6-0).

The German Darts Grand Prix was the second tournament of the so-called European Tour. Three weeks ago the first meeting of this season took place in Wieze, Belgium. Then the overall victory went to Luke Littler. The young Englishman was not there in Munich this Easter weekend.
