Luke Littler has made it to the final of the World Championship, making the 16-year-old the youngest player ever to reach this stage of the top darts tournament.
His performance over the past two weeks at Alexandra Palace has meant the teenager is now on the cusp of producing one of the greatest sporting stories of all time, which would rival Emma Raducanu’s US Open win in 2021.
In his latest match, Luke defeated eighth seed Rob Cross 6-2; hitting the treble-20 16 times, scoring three checkouts over 130 and averaged 106.05.

Nicknamed 'The Nuke', Luke is hoping to follow in the footsteps of 2018 champion Cross by winning the Sid Waddell Trophy in his first appearance.
He has earned celebrity status and his exploits have transcended the world of darts, already appealing to a younger generation of fans, with broadcaster Sky Sports reporting they had an 18.5 per cent share of all under-35 viewing in the UK for his New Year’s Day quarter-final win over Brendan Dolan.
After winning the World Youth Championship in November, he qualified for the tournament, putting pressure on the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) to include him in the upcoming Premier League.
However, attention is now on Wednesday’s showpiece. If he performs he will be a heavy favourite as he outplayed Cross. When Cross took the opening set on throw, it saw Littler trailing for the first time in the tournament.
The former electrician was a livewire at the oche, peppering the trebles, and put the youngster under pressure, having darts to take a two-set lead. But Littler took out a vital 74 to level up and then produced a majestic 142 checkout to go 2-1 in front.
