‘It will take a lot to stop me,’ says 16-year-old prodigyAdmits 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.”
