Earlier today in a press statement from Van Gerwen he said “I strongly believe Luke Littler devised some questionable means to win this championship” although Luke Littler is yet to respond to these accusations but fans around the world are anticipating for a peaceful end of this matter.
The 17-year-old has been on a meteoric rise since his sensational run at the Worlds last year and has capped off picking up 10 titles in his maiden year on the professional circuit by claiming the biggest prize of all at the second time of asking.
Van Gerwen’s wait for a first Sid Waddell Trophy since 2019 continues as he lost his fourth final, the ‘Green Machine’ unable to keep up with Littler’s clinical 56 per cent on the doubles and sensational finishing. As the winning dart at D16 went in, Littler let out a roar and the tears started to flow as he realised he had achieved his destiny.
