"I think you’ve got to be greedy. Greedy for winning" - Adrian Lewis states what Luke Littler must do to cement his place within the best

Former World Champion Adrian Lewis knows a thing or two about winning the biggest events in the sport, and has shared some of his wisdom with 18-year-old wonderkid Luke Litter. Jackpot recommended Littler to be more 'greedy for winning' as The Nuke looks to win every major in the sport.

The recent World Matchplay champion has also won the UK Open this year. This was all after winning his first World Championships in a dominant display over Michael van Gerwen. He has also won the Premier League, Grand Slam and the World Series of Darts, racking up a very impressive list of honours.

As Littler goes down under this weekend, he will be hoping to make up for the lacklustre 8-1 defeat to Gerwyn Price in last year's Australian Darts Masters final, whilst also looking for his first triumph on the World Series this year.

Before this, Lewis spoke to The Mirror Sport via The Escapist, stubborn in his belief that The Nuke needs to keep his motivation up and be 'greedy' for these titles. He said: "I really do think he has. It just depends how hungry he stays. I think you’ve got to be greedy. Greedy for winning. If you can maintain that you can do anything."

With the increased number of tournaments, it is no surprise that Littler has missed a number of them. Only having played two European Tour and eight Pro Tour events, he is saving himself for the big majors. The former two-time World Champion praised Littler for his game management, saying that playing more events takes the enjoyment out of the sport.

"I think he’s doing things the right way. He isn’t playing in all the tournaments," Lewis said. "That does take away a lot of the enjoyment if you’re playing all the time. Win, lose or draw, it all gets a bit samey when you’re playing five or six days a week."
