In an exclusive interview with SPORTbible, darts star Luke Littler reflects on his incredible start to life on the professional tour.

It is nearly two months to the day that Luke Littler won his first round match at the World Darts Championship - setting in motion a series of events that would change his life.

Perhaps the most remarkable part of Littler’s story throughout the World Championship was how simple he kept his approach. Xbox, time with family and friends, darts practice.And Littler says that, despite the huge media attention, not much has changed in his daily routine since then. Earlier in that tournament, he hit his second nine-darter of the season - after hitting one during the Bahrain Darts Masters last month - in his last 32 win over fellow new tour card holder Michele Turetta.“Leighton actually hit one next to me in the early rounds, and then we both won our early games and went out again.Littler’s resume for this season is already extremely impressive. Bahrain Darts Masters - won. Dutch Darts Masters - final. Premier League week two - final.

With that, Littler is off to prepare for his latest Premier League quarter-final clash - where he was edged out in a deciding leg by 2021 world champion Gerwyn Price. In a tournament that lasts 16 weeks plus a final night, there’s plenty of time to bounce back.
