Luke Littler remains on course for a third title this year on the 2024 European Tour. 'The Nuke' defeated home crowd favourite Bruno Stöckli 6-3 in the second round of the Swiss Darts Trophy and will now meet Luke Humphries this Sunday afternoon.
Things were even until 3-3, but after that, Littler spirted clear and won the last three legs in a row and thus secured himself the match. “My new darts only came out a few days ago so I tried them out for the first time on stage tonight,” opened the 17-year-old Englishman in his post-match interview. “The crowd were on Bruno’s side, but that 145 [finish] really changed the game for me, and hopefully I can play a little bit better tomorrow.”

As mentioned, in the next round, Littler will take on Humphries in a repeat of both the World Darts Championship and Premier League Darts final from earlier this year.
"As we've both said, we love playing each other!" Littler previews excitedly. "I'm sure it will be another great game tomorrow and hopefully I can play a bit better."

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
