The hype surrounding him in England’s media has known no bounds in recent days. The world association PDC has also named the 16-year-old Luke Littler a “superstar” in its reports on the Darts World Cup in London.
Idol Raymond van Barneveld, who lost to him 1:4 in the round of 16, predicts a bright future for him. Littler is said to have thrown his first arrows at the age of 18 months. Yesterday his successful run in the title fights continued. He defeated Northern Irishman Brendan Dolan 5-1 in the quarter-finals and is fighting once morest former world champion Rob Cross tonight for a place in the final.
“Wow. I’m in the semi-finals on my debut. My performance was good. “I just earned it,” Littler said confidently.
Meanwhile, Cross can continue to hope for his second title following 2018. Yesterday he defeated his compatriot Chris Dobey 5:4 following a 0:4 deficit, one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the Darts World Cup.
