Humphries could face Greaves as Littler returns at Czech Darts Open

Beau Greaves faces a showdown with world No 2 and reigning champion Luke Humphries if she beats Daryl Gurney in the opening round of the European Tour's Czech Darts Open.

Friday's opening round will see 16 matches take place across an action-packed double session, as Gurney and Greaves renew their rivalry on the big stage in a repeat of last year's World Darts Championship clash.
