Luke Littler hails crowd after cruising into last four of World Darts Championship
Luke Littler thanked fans after a flawless 5-0 victory, becoming the overwhelming favorite to defend his World Darts Championship title, with rivals falling early, officials said.
- Luke Littler cruised into the last four with a 5-0 quarter-final win over Krzysztof Ratajski, thanking the Alexandra Palace crowd and saying `I am so over the moon`.
- He had been booed heavily after thanking fans for 'paying' his prize money, and Luke Littler said the Rob Cross game 'definitely tested' him, helping his mental growth.
- Gian van Veen produced elite numbers, averaging 105.41 with 11 180s and a `Big Fish` 170 checkout, while Gary Anderson, former champion and 55-year-old, returned to the semi-finals beating Justin Hood 5-2.
- Littler will meet Ryan Searle in the semi-final, with observers noting few can live with him and warning Littler may have more gears to find ahead of that last-four date.
- Humphries' 5-1 loss to Van Veen leaves Littler the main challenger, and a successful defence would make Littler the first to retain the title since Gary Anderson 10 years ago.
