Ricardo Pietreczko apologizes after altercation with Luke Littler: ''Got a little bit too emotional and overreacted”

Ricardo Pietreczko apologized Thursday via Instagram for his behavior after his match against Luke Littler at the Belgian Darts Open last weekend. 'Pikachu' was angry because of an action by Littler in the sixth leg. 'The Nuke' was leading 3-2 at that point and was on 147 after 12 arrows. He tried to throw out this score via triple 19, tops and bullseye, but threw his second arrow off the board. Pietreczko came back to 3-3 moments later, but saw the next four legs go to his English opponent.

Pietreczko accused his English opponent of a form of arrogance and hoped that Littler would eventually be presented with the bill for that. The German dart player now regrets that remark. I wanted to apologize for my behavior on stage in Wieze. I was really proud of reaching the semifinals but got a little bit too emotional and overreacted. Sorry Luke Littler, and big respect for what you achieved,'' Pietreczko wrote.
