Overview

• Peter Wright defeated reigning world champion Luke Humphries in a surprising 4-1 victory during the Darts World Championship in London.
• The emotional win marks a comeback for Wright, who entered the tournament as an underdog after a difficult year and recent illness.
• Humphries, despite being the dominant player of the past 18 months, appeared uncharacteristically disengaged during the match.
• Wright credited younger players, including Humphries and Luke Littler, for inspiring him to continue competing in the sport.
• The victory eliminates the possibility of a highly anticipated Humphries-Littler semifinal and moves Wright into the quarterfinals.
