Luke Littler continues his brilliant performance at the World Darts Championship! The 16-year-old reached the semi-finals on Monday, defeating Brendan Dolan.
Littler didn't get off to a good start as Dolan was already 2-0 up in the first set, but the 16-year-old's game has improved dramatically since then. He cold-bloodedly took advantage of each subsequent obstacle from the Irishman and immediately added more goals to his account. It should be noted that he played the second set with an average of 121.86!
The 16-year-old's first major miss came in the fifth set when he missed a couple of doubles. However, at that time he was leading 4-0, so he did not interfere with the shot even at such a moment. Like a lost game because he did his job afterwards. He won 5-1 and, to the delight of the fans gathered at Alexandra Palace in London, was among the four best players of the 2024 World Cup.
Littler's opponent in the semi-finals will be 2018 world champion Rob Cross, who brilliantly defeated Chris Dobey. The 33-year-old player was already losing 0:4, but after a fantastic comeback won 5:4.
