World number two Luke Humphries breezed into the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix with a 3-0 victory over Niels Zonneveld. The Englishman did not quite hit top gear against the Dutchman - averaging 85.91 and throwing four 180s - but was clinical at the key moments with a checkout success of 33.33%. Humphries has yet to drop a set in this year's tournament having whitewashed Dave Chisnall and Jermaine Wattimena in previous rounds.

The 31-year-old will face compatriot James Wade in the last four after he knocked out third seed Gian van Veen with a 3-0 win. Elsewhere, Nathan Aspinall produced a stellar performance at Leicester's Mattioli Arena to secure his spot in the last four with a 3-0 victory over Ryan Joyce. He will play Gerwyn Price in the semis after the Welshman's superb 3-2 comeback success against his compatriot Jonny Clayton, who spurned a two-set lead and match darts in a thrilling tie.
