IT was double delight for Warrington’s Luke Littler as he celebrated overtaking Luke Humphries as world No. 1 with a thrilling 16-11 victory as he retained his Grand Slam of Darts title in Wolverhampton.
The final had been given extra edge after it was confirmed that Littler would take the world No. 1 spot from Humphries through booking his place in the big dance, switching their places in the rankings just before the final and marking 18-year-old Littler as the youngest world No 1 in the sport’s history.
Littler made sure to do the double over Humphries in one day as he took charge in the key moments, 167 and 160 checkouts plus five breaks of throw showing just why he is considered the best out there in the longer format.
The Grand Slam final marked the sixth major final the two Lukes have faced each other in, adding to the World Darts Championship final, two Premier League finals, the Players Championship finals, and World Grand Prix final.
With Littler’s latest victory, their record is now level at 3-3, with Littler having the Premier League, World Grand Prix, and Grand Slam to his name.
It marks Littler’s second time lifting the Eric Bristow Trophy, adding to his 16-3 victory over Martin Lukeman last year.
It continues the fairytale story of the Warrington teenager who has risen to the top of the world in under two years!
