Luke Littler has described his Premier League victory in Cardiff as "massive" as he looks ahead to a successful defence of his UK Open title, while insisting that doubters spur him on. The world No. 1 also praised James Wade as a "gentleman" after a victory in Minehead.
Littler is now hoping to meet fellow Laureus World Sports Awards nominee Carlos Alcaraz, adding another layer to his ambitions beyond the darts circuit. The comments came on Monday, March 9, 2026, at 08:26 UK time, as reported by Sky Sports Darts.
