Luke Humphries says Gerwyn Price 'probably regrets' outburst he 'can't say on camera' after World Grand Prix collapse

Luke Humphries believes that Gerwyn Price "regrets" what he said before he completed an impressive comeback in Sunday's World Grand Prix final.

Humphries was in deep trouble after going 3-0 down but produced an incredible fightback to win 6-4, including a 106 and 107 average in the final two sets.

The world No. 2 was unstoppable in the closing stages as he clinched his second World Grand Prix title and has since commented on his impressive performance.

Luke Humphries thinks Gerwyn Price 'regrets' outburst before comeback

Although Price initially stole the headlines with his record-setting 132.62 average in the first set, Humphries had the last laugh and reached world-class levels at the Mattioli Arena.

A stunning 105 checkout in the fourth set after the Welshman missed double tops to go 4-0 up kick-started a stunning comeback, with the 31-year-old winning six of the last seven sets to secure victory.

According to Humphries, Price said something after the fourth set that he "probably regrets" now, when it seemed he was in control of the match.

"He probably regrets that now," the world No. 2 told Oche 180. "I can't say on camera. It wasn't anything bad, but it was more sweary. I think he felt he was in control of the game.

"He probably regrets that now, but I think Gezzy's probably one of the best losers on tour now. The way he acts after he loses is a credit to the sport.

"He didn't used to be a good loser; I don't think I used to be a good loser, but now I think we've learned really well to be good losers.

"He's going to win something big soon."

Price is known for being animated on stage, and perhaps his reaction to losing the fourth set handed the initiative to Humphries to come from behind.

The 41-year-old's defeat in the final was his second in as many majors after losing to Ross Smith in the World Series of Darts earlier this month.

Gerwyn Price's reaction to Luke Humphries' defeat

Reflecting on his loss to Humphries, Price lamented "missed opportunities" as the reason for his collapse.,

"Luke played brilliantly in the middle of the game, but I still squandered so many opportunities. 3-0 up, then he's 4-3 up, I make it 4-4 then miss doubles. I missed too many opportunities. I felt it was a fantastic game and it was whoever took the opportunities. I missed quite a few at crucial times," he said.

Discussing his performance further, the world No. 4 accepted that he was "gutted" to lose but then instantly switched the narrative by suggesting he doesn't care.

"Gutted I lost another one but I'll move on," Price continued.

"I don't care. I'm enjoying darts, I'm enjoying life. Luke's a great player. I'm earning a great living; I've got the best family. I don't mind."

The next big events for Price are the European Championship later this month, before November's Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals.
