Players Championship 33 draw: Archie Self faces Luke Humphries as Beau Greaves meets Peter Wright

Archie Self has been drawn against Luke Humphries in the first round of Players Championship 33, while Beau Greaves faces Peter Wright in Leicester.

The draw, published by Live Darts, gives Self a demanding opening assignment after his MODUS Super Series triumph.

Self’s next test after MODUS breakthrough

The 16-year-old beat Andy Baetens 4–2 in Saturday’s Champions Week final in Portsmouth, collecting the £25,000 top prize after a week that also included a televised nine-darter against Danny Ayres.

Self recovered from an earlier group-stage defeat by Baetens to win the title. He averaged 107.92 in his semi-final victory over Scott Robertson before overcoming the Belgian in their second meeting of the evening.

Humphries presents another opportunity to measure that progress against one of the sport’s leading players. Self has already won twice on the Challenge Tour this year, including a September final in which he averaged 104.49 against Tommy Morris.
