Luke Humphries secured his second World Grand Prix title after a superb comeback at the Mattioli Arena. The final was a best-of-11 sets contest, with Humphries landing the £150,000 winner's cheque and Gerwyn Price taking home £80,000 as runner-up.
Humphries had previously beaten Price in the 2023 final, and this victory adds to his 2020 triumph in the double-start trophy. The 'Iceman' now has two World Grand Prix crowns to his name.
The match saw Humphries launch a remarkable fightback to overcome Price, although the exact set score was not provided in the source. The win solidifies Humphries' status as one of the premier double-start players in the game.
Speaking after the match, Humphries was in high spirits, quipping: "Harry Potter did well, didn't he!?" – a light-hearted reference to his own nickname, 'The Iceman', and perhaps his magical comeback on the oche.
