Fairytale Run

16-year-old Luke Littler has taken the World Darts Championship by storm over the past two weeks. His journey to the final has been nothing short of remarkable.

A Blast from the Past

It turns out that Littler and his final opponent, Luke Humphries, have crossed paths before. When Littler was just 12 years old, he competed against a 24-year-old Humphries at a tournament on Hayling Island.

An amazing photo has resurfaced on Littler's social media, showing the young darts prodigy posing alongside his future rival.

A Promising Future

Although Littler narrowly missed out on victory back then, he now has the chance to claim the ultimate prize. The winner of this week's final will not only be crowned world champion but will also walk away with a whopping £500,000.

Even the runner-up will still take home an impressive £200,000.

The Road to the Final

Littler secured his spot in the final by defeating former world champion Rob Cross with a score of 6-2. He had previously overcome Raymond van Barneveld.

Humphries, on the other hand, dominated his semi-final against Scott Williams, winning 6-0.

A Battle of Skill and Nerves

Humphries is well aware of Littler's talent and is preparing for a tough match. He acknowledged Littler's impressive performance and expressed the need to bring his A-game to stand a chance at victory.

Meanwhile, Littler remains focused and sticks to his routine, starting the day with a ham and cheese omelette, followed by a pizza, and then practice. He believes in his abilities and plans to stay consistent.

Both players are determined to provide fans with an unforgettable world final.
