Luke Littler has shed light on the reason behind his 'cry baby' comment aimed at Gian van Veen following their intense Premier League Darts match in Manchester. Van Veen emerged victorious in a contentious match earlier this month, which prompted Littler's angry reaction after Van Veen turned towards him while throwing match darts in a thrilling deciding leg.
In an interview with Online Darts, Littler shared his perspective on the incident for the first time, stating that Van Veen had effectively given up at the end of the match. Littler believes Van Veen was out of line for staring at him when he still had darts to throw, and that his actions were unprofessional. The incident has sparked a rivalry between the two players, with Littler suggesting that their on-stage tensions could attract more viewers. Littler also reflected on his poor performance in the Premier League Darts last week, attributing it to a lack of practice and a general disinterest in being there.
As the competition heats up, Littler and Van Veen may face off again in the semi-finals in Rotterdam, which could lead to further drama and excitement in the world of darts.
