Yes, really looking forward to it. If they are both on their games then we should be in for a treat.

I been watching darts at least for 40 years i have seen all the great ones playing , what i see now in Luke Littler is a phenomenon !!!! I am only sorry that i will not live long enough to see his records by the time he retires from the game but even though , i am sure for one thing he will brake every record by then and he will give a lot of good memories to all the darts fans !!!!

[@jackngo1099]

One hell of a final is gonna go down tomorrow

[@AmericasChoice]

That final 170 was killer.

[@gohumberto]

It didn't feel like a 6-1. Like several of Littler's opponents, Bunting had chances to make this a lot closer. The difference is that Littler takes his chances. I think the pressure of knowing you just dare not miss your doubles just wears you down after a couple of sets. Littler is relentless.

[@Maxxx568]

Bunting had set-darts in sets one and six. Should he hit them, it would be 3-3, but instead it was 1-5. Just 4-5 missed darts at doubles and the game is gone.

[@The23rdofapril]

That’s darts

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

@@Maxxx568 Yeah, I think in any given leg Littler is potentially beatable - but you have to play to the best standard you can, all the time. I think what does for his opponents is the relentless pace and the feeling that they can't take their foot off the gas for a second. Bunting had the right idea - he played the match to his pace and not Littler's - but a few misses on key doubles and his head seemed to go down. It'll be interesting to see if Littler can bully MVG. What I think MVG needs to do is remind himself that he's already won three titles and secured his legacy so all the pressure is on Littler tomorrow, not him.

[@matmul4850]

​@Maxxx568 Exactly, that's why I think mvg will win tomorrow. As much as I would like to see Littler win, mvg doesn't let those opportunities slip. Hoping for a great match.

[@luckyspurs]

Also worth saying that Littler is massively out-averaging his opponents too (and that's with them not having to hit a lot of the doubles).

[@FreedomForAll-n6g]

MVG is back to his best, but Luke Littler, wow, for 17 yrs old Luke, you have one hell of a strong mindset, ignoring the media is a hard thing to do, but it is a must, look what happened to Adrian Lewis. Just keep on being you, ignore the negativity and you will be the legend in the making. You are so relentless, its beautiful to watch. Well done Luke, and I'm so sorry Bunty, I love you too lol

[@redlfclegend24]

That was nowhere near vintage Van Gerwen. Prime MVG played 100+ every single match

[@omwu1307]

MVG is about 50% from his prime what u talking u clueless go watch cricket

[@kiekiek]

@@redlfclegend24 Indeed. At his prime MvG's B-game was around 101. I remember being disappointed around 2017-2018 if MvG barely averaged above 100 in a particular match. During those days, averages beneath 100 were unicorns for MvG. His A game was an easy 107. His best, semi final 2019 against Barney. Littler is a phenomenal player, but prime MvG was just better, same for prime Taylor of course.

[@nuxshotz78]

practically a kid but has the mentality and quality greater than most of the dart legends and i know it is too soon to call him the best in the world all time but at the minute he has been the best in the world since winning the prem, hats off to him. clearly does not take notice of the media much and if he does, he comes back with a powerful message in the way of throwing hsisdarts, he aint cocky like some people thinks, he gives as good as he gets and he truly acts like a seasoned professional. fair play, im backing littler all the way like i have since he started. we may just see the best world championship final ever

As for PDC itself, the fact that I , as a paid subscriber to your website, along with many others were not able to watch the semi finals on your website is an absolute disgrace. Your app which was supposed to be the back up didn't work either. Worse, as soon as the Littler match finished, the website came online so the problem was clearly a lack of server capacity, a very foreseeable problem. Gee, imagine your subscribers wanting to watch the most important event of the year! What a shock! I didn't get to see the first semi final at all and I only got to see the 2nd via a dubious website and I missed out on the commentary at that site. If I wanted to go pirating, I wouldn't have paid for a subscription. Unfortunately, I am duty bound to recommend to those considering a subscription to see this mouth watering final, that they not waste their time or money and also seek dubious coverage that is at least streamed effectively!
