Teenage darts prodigy Luke Littler delivered another electrifying performance at the World Matchplay, thrashing Jelle Klaasen 10-2 in a one-sided affair. The 17-year-old sensation showcased his trademark confidence and precision, leaving fans and pundits in awe of his rapid ascent in the sport.
A Masterclass in Dominance
From the opening throw, Littler asserted his authority on the match, racing to a 5-0 lead before Klaasen could register his first leg. The young star maintained relentless pressure throughout, finishing with an impressive 101.96 average and landing five 180s.
Klaasen's Struggles Continue
For Klaasen, this defeat extends a worrying run of form at the Winter Gardens. The Dutchman has now lost his last seven first-round matches at the World Matchplay, with his sole victory coming back in 2016 against Ian White.
What's Next for Littler?
The victory sets up a tantalising second-round clash with Portuguese star Jose de Sousa. Littler will be looking to build on his strong start as he aims to add the World Matchplay title to his growing list of achievements.
Darts fans worldwide will be watching closely to see if the teenager can maintain his incredible form and potentially create more history in Blackpool.
