"I just want to get on the stage and perform" - Luke Littler enjoying every second of World Series debut in Bahrain

Luke Littler was happy to record a victory in his World Series of Darts debut at the Bahrain Darts Masters on Thursday night. After trailing 0-2, the teenage sensation managed to win 6-3 over Man Lok Leung.
The 16-year-old Englishman's scoring was rock solid, but he had a lot of trouble finding the doubles. Afterwards, Littler said he was itching to return to action after taking a short family holiday following his sensational World Darts Championship performances.
"I couldn't wait - I didn't want to practice, I just wanted to play the game," said Littler to the PDC. "I just want to get on the stage and perform and I'm happy to get over the line. I've always said that it takes a leg or two to get into the game and you could see it did, but I got the next five legs."
According to Littler, it was also due to a lack of match rhythm. ''I've not played a proper game since the World Championship final, but I fight to the end and once I got a leg or two I was in. A big finish always helps and I'm glad I got into the game and got over the line."

- 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
