The PDC World Grand Prix enters its final two days, with the final four players confirmed. Luke Humphries, Ryan Joyce, Mike De Decker, and Dimitri Van den Bergh will battle it out to reach the final in Leicester on Sunday night.

Both semi-final matches will be played this evening, with the format extending to best of nine sets (first to five).

Dimitri Van der Bergh vs Mike Decker

Mike De Decker and Dimitri Van der Bergh will meet for an all Belgian semi-final fixture. De Decker produced another comfortable and quite frankly dominant win over James Wade on Friday, which will put his fellow countryman under threat.

The Real Deal has defeated Damon Heta, Gary Anderson and James Wade on route, but back-to-back whitewashes over the game’s most decorated players will give him all the confidence in the world to go further.

De Decker’s averages has been consistently in the 90’s, with his best performance arriving against Anderson by posting in a 95.74 final average. He has far succeeded his best run in a TV tournament prior to this week in Leicester as he closes in on a place in the top-32 in the world.

Despite playing arguably the strongest player this week, Van der Bergh shouldn’t be ruled out. The fellow Belgian star ended a four-year TV ranking win drought earlier this year at the UK Open and is producing some of his best stuff.

The 30-year-old has displayed some of his best stuff in his first round clash averaging 97.18 against Luke Woodhouse, but since has delivered and held his nerve at key moments during the next two matches. He overcame Dave Chisnall in the second round by winning back-to-back last leg deciding sets to win.

Though his final averages has regressed against Chisnall and Joe Cullen in the last two games, averaging 88.48 and 86.43, the two-time PDC major winner will have to come out firing to match De Decker’s form.

Luke Humphries vs Ryan Joyce

Luke Humphries reaches another TV ranking semi-final and continues the momentum of reaching a TV quarter-final or further in every ranking tournament since the 2023 World Matchplay.

He has admitted that his dominance in the last 18 months doesn’t get as much attention as it should, but one attribute that goes even further under the radar is his tenacity. He nearly faced an early exit against Stephen Bunting but recovered to win from such a precarious position.

Humphries will always be a dangerous threat in the back end in tournaments irregardless, his stamina shines through in situations like this. He defied Ricardo Pietreczko and Jonny Clayto 3-1 in round two and in the quarter-finals respectively without looking his absolute best.

This week Ryan Joyce has been another surprise package, with the Geordie star reaching his second TV semi-final since turning professional. Joyce has only been a professional since 2018, but another deep major run will solidify his place inside the top 32 too.

The 39-year-old has been up against some of the best talent but has produced wins against Josh Rock, Nathan Aspinall and Rob Cross. This will be his toughest test yet against the defending champion and number one in Humphries, but it is guaranteed he won’t be fazed.

Joyce showed grit to overcome setbacks on his path, with both games against Aspinall and Crosss forcing a last set decider. With his apt nickname of “Relentless”, Joyce’s resilient attribute will make it a difficult test for Humphries if he isn’t able to produce his A-game.
