Luke Humphries claimed his first stage title since September by defeating Jonny Clayton 8-6 in the Belgian Darts Open final. The world No 2 overcame Jermaine Wattimena, Chris Dobey, and Michael van Gerwen on his way to victory, securing his ninth European Tour title overall. Humphries' path to glory included a stunning 7-2 demolition of Van Gerwen with a 105.96 average.

Luke Littler's hopes of a third consecutive Belgian title ended in a shock third-round defeat to Niels Zonneveld. The reigning world champion, who entered the tournament on a 12-match winning streak, was beaten in a dramatic last-leg decider after Zonneveld hit a magical 147 checkout. Zonneveld's victory marked a significant upset in the tournament.

Clayton mounted a spirited comeback from 6-1 and 6-3 down in the final, but Humphries held firm to claim the trophy. The Premier League leader's resilience was praised by Humphries, who admitted to struggling with his doubles throughout the tournament. The victory marks a return to winning form for Humphries ahead of the upcoming Premier League Darts Night Eight in Berlin.
