He is only 16 years old and is the new sensation in the darts world: Luke Littler managed to reach the final of the world championships by beating Rob Ross, world champion in 2018, six sets to two in the semi-final. The youngest player to play in a semi-final in this prestigious competition, he inevitably becomes the youngest to qualify for a final. In this final match for the title, he will meet either Luke Humphries or Scott Williams.
Still a teenager even if he seems older, he managed to keep his cool to defeat a tough opponent despite losing the first round. He then had a very high-level meeting.
Luke ‘The Nuke’ Littler continued his momentum following surprising spectators since the start of the competition. Qualified, although youth world champion, he started his tournament in 164th place in the world rankings. He notably offered himself the Dutch legend Raymond van Barneveld and has already ensured a jump to at least 31st place in the PDC.
Luke is busy breaking all precocity records. Current junior world champion, he was the youngest player to win a match in the world championship. And he might become the youngest world champion in the premier category. Still in school, he obtained special permission to participate in the competition. And it definitely pays off.
The final will take place this Wednesday evening in London and it will be 100% English. And if he wins, the young man has promised that he will not deviate from his tradition: he will celebrate his victory as he always does, by devouring a kebab on the street corner…
