Luke Littler Exudes Confidence After Dominant Victory

Following his impressive 4-0 win over Mensur Suljovic in the World Darts Championship, Luke Littler expressed his confidence, stating that he can only improve from here. The 18-year-old achieved his highest average at Alexandra Palace with 107.09, taking just 25 minutes to secure the victory. Littler is set to face Rob Cross on Monday and remains undefeated in the tournament, having not dropped a set in his three matches so far. When asked about potential opponents, Littler said it's challenging to decide, given his strong performance. He acknowledged that his best game was in the third round and hopes to replicate that in the next match. With four nine-darters in his short professional career, Littler is eyeing his first at the World Championship. He discussed his 100-per-cent winning set record, saying that not losing a set is always beneficial. Littler also mentioned that he has been practicing and hopes to achieve a nine-darter in the coming days. Sky Sports Darts' Mark Webster praised Littler's attitude, saying it's brilliant and that he will likely control the next match. Littler has a history with his next opponent, Rob Cross, having beaten him in their five Premier League meetings earlier this year. However, Cross got the better of Littler in their last match. Cross expressed that he has nothing to lose and will enjoy being the underdog. Littler, who has won six televised ranking tournaments in the last 12 months, is aiming to become the first player to defend the world title since Gary Anderson a decade ago. His performance against Suljovic solidified his position as the favorite to win the championship, and he believes he has set a marker. Littler has a remarkable record in the longer format, having lost only one match in contests that are 20 legs and longer. He emphasized that in darts, anything can happen, and he needs to focus on his next game.
