A Young Challenger Emerges
Luke Littler’s rise has sparked curiosity and curiosity and whispers of potential greatness among fans. “A young Phil Taylor would’ve been good enough to knock out any time Luke Littler down a peg or two,” Dennis Priestley has no doubts about it. But Currently, Taylor is still sporadically in action on the World Seniors Darts Tour, although this is his final year before he retires from that circuit too. Littler recently expressed enthusiasm for a possible dream match between the Old legend and a new legend in the making.
A Dream Match Beckons
“I met him once. Our sponsor, Target, who make our darts and stuff. That’s when I met him. I’ve not seen him after the World Championships or anything,” Littler, also known as ‘The Nuke,’ told Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour while in the United States. “I’ve seen his interviews when he’s speaking about me and other things. He’s just a legend of the sport. For him to be talking about me, it’s just crazy to think.”
The Legend’s Response
So, would Taylor himself be up for a match with the teenage darting sensation? “I can’t do it at the minute [following an injury], but will I do it? Of course, I would,” Taylor told Spin Bet recently. “He’s brilliant. So far, he’s handling the pressure brilliantly, the lad is. He’s kept his feet on the ground, he’s got good parents, a good manager around him, and he’s doing brilliant. I love him.”
The Path to Greatness
“Listen, if you’re old enough, you’re good enough. It all depends on Luke (on how good he can become), if he remains dedicated and focused to his goals and keeps practicing and doing what he is doing, then he will be alright,” continues Taylor, known as ‘The Power.’ Yet Taylor does warn of a potential pitfall. “It’s just if he gets distracted by things, thinking about different things and doing different things and spreading himself a bit too thin. Everyone will want a piece of him, you see. He needs to listen to his manager and keep grounded.”
Only 2 Players have reached the finals of both the World Championship and Premier League on debut.
