Luke Littler provided the best performance of the second round at the 2024 Flanders Darts Trophy on Saturday night, defeating Dutchman Jermaine Wattimena 6-1 thanks to an average of 111.13.
After five legs, Wattimena was averaging 110 himself, but was looking at a 4-1 deficit. Before that, the 17-year-old Littler had thrown two 14-darters and a 12-darter, among other things. In between, Wattimena threw a 107 checkout for a 12-darter.
In the sixth leg, Wattimena missed five chances to make it 2-4, after which Littler punished these misses hard with a 105 finish. Wattimena did not recover from that blow. Littler thundered on and put a 13-darter to make it 6-1.
''I knew I played well and I had to, because Jermaine threw everything at me,'' Littler reflected in his post-match interview on stage afterwards. "I couldn't afford to step off the gas because Jermaine was right behind me every time, but I took my chances.''
Littler has now won seven matches in a row on Belgian soil. 'The Nuke' managed to win the Belgian Darts Open in Wieze early this season on his Euro Tour debut. On Sunday, the 17-year-old teenage sensation will play Dirk van Duijvenbode in the third round, looking to continue this winning run. "I love playing in Belgium. The crowds are amazing here and they just love their darts,'' Littler concluded.

- I might actually enter this next year,for £5 and an egg cup! It's a disgrace considering the previous champions. I won't be watching,and I doubt many others will either. Taylor, Barney, Burnett, Hankey, Wolfie,you'd win this with your eyes closedrick6705-11-2024
- Shame that Beau has got Noppert first, he is less likely to fold, Schindler or Menzies may well of. Still think she can win the group, even if not can still qualify for the knockout stages.Mysstree05-11-2024
- I agree with the other posts here. Cameron Menzies did absolutely nothing wrong... he showed some passion-being a human - which is good to see. The last thing we want is grey/woke robot players who are far too afraid to show any emotions whatsoever. Woke is killing most sports and is having far-reaching consequences - in general.MrYnyslas197105-11-2024
- I don't actually see the problem,he was insulting only to himself,as a reaction to his victory. I don't think anyone else was affected,so what's the issue?rick6704-11-2024
