Littler masters pressure and moves into the quarter-finals of the Darts World Cup!

Alexandra Palace, London, Vereinigtes Königreich - Darts-Wunderkind Luke Littler won an exciting fight against Ryan Joyce in the PDC World Darts Championship and qualified for quarter-finals with a narrow 4: 3 victory. However, the 17-year-old Littler, who is considered a favorite on the World Cup title after leaving defending champion Luke Humphries, was faced with a relentless opponent. Joyce, number 33 in the world rankings, showed a strong performance and held the pressure up to the decision -making rate. Littler fought with a few mistakes on the double that clouded his otherwise impressive average of over 100 points, but he also showed a remarkable strength when he started in the decisive sentence with two 180s and finally decided the match how laola1.at reports .

After the exciting match, Littler explained that he simply had to switch to the "tenth gear" in order to be able to survive against Joyce, who is already known as one of the best finishers in the darts. With 14 maximum 180 throws and a final of over 103 points, Littler proved that he is still a serious competitor in the tournament. The teenager admitted that he had missed the tournament's shock the night before when Humphries was defeated by Peter Wright, and commented: "I cannot believe that he was eliminated. With Humphries, all eyes will be directed at me," like sports.yahoo.com reports .

quarter -finals against Nathan Aspinall

With this victory, Littler now faces the challenge of competing against his friend Nathan Aspinall in the quarterfinals, which should provide additional exciting atmosphere. Littler, who impressively won 10 tournaments in his debut season, will try to continue to call up his achievements and possibly get the historical title of the youngest world champion in the darts. Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting also qualified for the quarter -finals in the previous evening game and thus bring the necessary competition into the tournament.
