Luke Littler’s quarter-final showdown with Gerwyn Price has all the makings of a World Grand Prix classic. Both players are in fine fettle and it goes without saying that the pair will be going hammer and tongs to win this one. As such, the Leicester crowd should be treated to a flurry of 180s, with Littler looking worthy of support to deliver five or more maximums.

While ‘The Nuke’ only hit three 180s in his second round win over Mike De Decker, he was in complete control of the game from start to finish and never under any real pressure. However, I don’t think that will be the case here against a fired up and in-form Gerwyn Price. In fact, I think ‘The Iceman’ and Littler could push each other to their limits tonight, so there should be ample opportunity for the teenage sensation to cover the proposed Over 4.5 180s line.

What’s more, Littler has been hitting 180s for fun throughout 2025, currently topping the PDC’s 180 leaderboard with a haul of 693. To put that remarkable 180 return into context, only one other player (Stephen Bunting, 554) has surpassed the 550 mark to date. 

I fully expect Luke Humphries to take another step closer to securing what would be a second World Grand Prix crown by overcoming Cameron Menzies at the quarter-final stage. ‘Cool Hand’ has produced a pair of dominant performances to set up this tie, defeating Nathan Aspinall in straight sets before making relatively light work of Krzysztof Ratajski in round two with a 3-1 victory. 

Humphries’ knack for getting in early with a double and his subsequent scoring power have been particularly impressive aspects of his game across the opening two rounds of action. Having lifted the trophy in 2023 and then finishing as runner-up last year, this is a format and a tournament that the Newbury ace is clearly at ease with. 

While Menzies has broken new ground to reach the quarter-final stage of the World Grand Prix for the first time ever with eye-catching upset wins over Chris Dobey and Rob Cross, taking on the world number one is an entirely different kettle of fish. Humphries is the ultimate professional and will guard against any complacency here, and his superior class should ultimately tell against the Scotsman.
