Teen sensation Luke Littler advances to PDC World Championship last 16 with commanding win

Posted : 28 December 2023

Sixteen-year-old Luke Littler's exceptional performance at the PDC World Championship persists as he secures a comfortable 4-1 victory over Matt Campbell, advancing to the last 16. The Warrington-born teenager dominated the early stages, taking a 2-0 lead without dropping a leg, and despite a resilient comeback attempt by Canada's Campbell, Littler secured the win with an impressive 164 checkout in the fifth set.

 

Littler, the youngest player ever to reach the last 16 in the World Championship, reflects on his journey, stating, "I just let my darts do the talking," and expresses readiness to face either Jim Williams or former champion Raymond van Barneveld in the next round.

 

In an interview with Sky Sports, Littler credits his composure and highlights the significance of winning his first game against Christian Kist, which helped him settle into the competition. Despite being aware of the strong form of potential opponents like Raymond van Barneveld and Jim Williams, Littler remains focused, stating, "I'll take whoever." The teenager has been rewatching his tournament highlights daily during the Christmas break, maintaining his confidence and composure on the big stage.

 

Meanwhile, three-time champion Michael van Gerwen secures a straightforward victory over fellow Dutchman Richard Veenstra in straight sets, earning his spot in the last 16 alongside the rising star Luke Littler. The PDC World Championship continues to showcase both the established champions and emerging talents, adding excitement to the competition.
