Luke Littler showed extreme humility on Saturday night after moments earlier beating his great childhood idol Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 in sets in the fourth round of the World Darts Championship.
The 16-year-old super-talent said afterwards that he had enjoyed Van Barneveld's legendary pre-match turnout immensely. "It was unbelievable," Littler said during his press conference. "With his walk-on, I was totally into it, but as soon as the music stopped, it was all about me and my darts and I was focused. I won against this guy on the biggest stage imaginable."
Littler was born 20 days after Van Barneveld became world champion for the fifth time. 'The Nuke' quickly proved to be a huge fan of 'Barney'. "Thirteen years ago, in front of my little (dart) board, I copied his celebrations. This is the biggest win of my life," Littler concluded.

This is probably the hardest Major to win as its the top 128 players at each event or the top ranked Challenge Tour players if any tour card holders drop out.Mysstree20-11-2024
