Littler Determined to Emulate All Pally Legends
Luke Littler extended his unbeaten streak to 12 matches with a dominant 6-1 win over Ryan Searle in the World Darts Championship semi-final.
- On Saturday Luke Littler beat Ryan Searle 6-1 at Alexandra Palace to reach a third successive final and move one win from defending his title.
- Littler averaged 105.35 and hit 10 180s with 59 per cent doubles success amid 11 successive wins and a 12-match unbeaten run at Alexandra Palace.
- Ryan Searle produced a 170 checkout and twice came close with seven perfect darts in a leg he ultimately lost, ending his career-best run while managing Autosomal Dominant Optic Atrophy and rising to number eight.
- A Littler title would make him the first man to win back-to-back World Championships since Gary Anderson a decade ago and earn a record 1million prize, cementing his status among the game's giants with the Sid Waddell Trophy.
- Gian van Veen could challenge Littler, who still seeks a nine-dart finish, as Van Veen aims for his first senior title and the Sid Waddell Trophy.
