Round 2 of the 2025 Darts World Grand Prix will see Luke Humphries taking on Krzysztof Ratajski on Wednesday evening. Cool Hand is ranked first, while the Polish Eagle is 35th, according to the PDC World Rankings as of the cut-off date. Let’s get into the match prediction!
After losing in the final of this competition last year, Luke Humphries is up and running at this season’s World Grand Prix, having beaten Nathan Aspinall 2-0 in the opening round.
Cool Hand averaged 87.64 but failed to throw a single 180 against the Asp. He recorded a highest checkout of 156 and a checkout rate of 46.86% (6/14).
Humphries has now won seven of his last 10 matches across all competitions, and each of his last five against his upcoming opponent.
Meanwhile, Krzysztof Ratajski pulled off one of the biggest upsets on Day 1 of the World Grand Prix, beating world number 17 Martin Schindler 2-0, while only losing a single leg.
The Polish Eagle pinned two 180s and maintained a three-dart average of 95.94. He was excellent on the outer ring at 66.67% and had a highest checkout of 79.

Our Luke Humphries vs Krzysztof Ratajski Prediction
While Luke Humphries was not at his absolute best in his opening match of the World Grand Prix against Nathan Aspinall, he still managed to win the match without dropping a set.
Krzysztof Ratajski pulled off one of the upsets of Day 1 at the Mattioli Arena against Martin Schindler, but he now faces a significant step up in class of opponent, the world number one. It would not surprise us if the Pole picks up a set here, but we feel Cool Hand will still get the result. Our Luke Humphries vs Krzysztof Ratajski prediction is Luke Humphries wins the match.
