Luke Littler Reaches Players Championship Semi-finals

Seventeen-year-old Luke Littler has advanced to the semi-finals of the Players Championship in Minehead, showcasing his exceptional form with a 10-3 victory over Mike de Decker. Littler's performance included impressive bull finishes and an average of 103.73, although he noted that it didn't feel like his best game despite his dominance. He is aiming for his 11th title in his inaugural professional year and seeks to secure his second major ranking title after winning the Grand Slam of Darts just a week prior. Littler's next match will be against either Scott Williams or Ross Smith for a place in the final, while fellow competitor Luke Humphries also progresses in the tournament. Both players could potentially meet in the final if they continue winning their matches. Littler's remarkable trajectory in darts has made him a standout figure, drawing admiration from fans and competitors alike.
