Luke Littler is confident despite being ‘rusty’
“Maybe I was a little rusty? Yeah. I haven’t played a proper match, a professional match, since the World Championship final,” Luke Littler said after yesterday’s win.
“I was thinking we were 2-0 down and anything could happen.
“But I’ll fight to the end. Once I put a foot or two in, I’m already in.
“A big finish always helps. It’s a little different when you lose a throw and then he breaks you and you lose 2-0. I’m glad to be in the match and get over the line. ”

Not quite Ally Pally

“It’s crazy to see so many people,” said the 16-year-old prodigy.
“It’s always good to have some crowd for the players to play in front of.
