Humphries, 31, was at the top of the sport two years ago but has found his dominance superseded by Luke Littler and had failed to taste major success since winning the Premier League in May 2025. A ranking title had eluded him since claiming the Masters in February last year, but he showed his class and an abundance of character to lift the title in Leicester.

The second seed, who was in a record-breaking fourth successive World Grand Prix final, trailed Price 3-0 but won four sets on the spin to take control. Price levelled but Humphries broke in the deciding leg of set five and then won three straight legs to be crowned champion.

It is his second World Grand Prix title, adding to his 2023 success that started his march to becoming world number one. The victory ensures he retains his number two ranking from the Netherlands' Gian van Veen. The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Sports landscape.
