- ‘It will take a lot to stop me,’ says 16-year-old prodigy
- Admits the media attention can get ‘a bit too much’
For the first time, Luke Littler allowed himself to dream. Perhaps the only thing harder to imagine than the 16-year-old prodigy winning the world championship is the thought of someone beating him. And after brushing aside Brendan Dolan to set up a semi-final against the 2018 champion Rob Cross, Littler admitted for the first time that as soon as the winning dart hit the double-four bed, he was thinking about lifting the trophy.
“I know I have the ability to go all the way,” he said. “This is the first time I have thought about it. I have a good feeling in myself. It will take a lot to stop me, based on my past performances. It’s whatever Luke Littler and Rob Cross turn up tomorrow evening.”
