Luke Littler, the 17-year-old darts prodigy, shares his surprising practice habits after reaching the World Darts semi-final.
London: So, Luke Littler just made waves after his big win over Nathan Aspinall. The kid’s only 17 and already in the World Darts semi-finals! Can you believe it?
He took down his buddy Aspinall 5-2 at Alexandra Palace on New Year’s Day. Now, he’s gearing up to face Stephen Bunting in the next round. This is his second year in a row making it to the semis, which is pretty impressive.
What’s wild is that despite his killer skills, he admitted on live TV that he doesn’t even practice on his days off. He said he prefers to just play, sleep, and get back at it the next day. Talk about a laid-back approach!
Before his match with Bunting, he mentioned feeling great and ready to tackle the challenge. He’s got a good vibe going, saying it’s the best he’s felt in the tournament so far. Fingers crossed he keeps that momentum!
Oh, and Chris Dobey, who just beat Gerwyn Price, is set to face Michael Van Gerwen in the other semi-final. It’s all heating up!
