HISTORY MAKING FINAL! Luke Littler v Rob Cross | 2024 Belgian Darts Open

[@kazuoatreides]

Props to Rob for being the nicest opponent you can get nowadays. Hope he stays at top level for a long time.

[@gunstormdarts]

In form Rob is a tough guy to beat 🎯

[@512Squared]

Rob and Asp are the two that help to make top days entertainment

[@chillaah2000]

Its absolutely breathtaking to witness such a talent rise from the beginning.

[@snubbyy]

Can't wait to see what Cross does next.

[@jur8405]

Cross is really sporty. How he raised Luke's hand in the air at the end😂❤

[@BlueHopi144]

fantastic

[@Andyradford81]

Cross does that to every player he plays.

many players would walk away shaking their heads if they lost a final like that, but cross smiles and takes the time to congratulate.

Such a true statement. This sport has some class up at the top. The real professionals love this kid. Cross has yet another true fan on his side after this match.

[@sandraharris3605]

Aww he sure is

[@raycarter4030]

littler has raised the mark and a handful of players are capable of coming with him, including Cross. Cross knows Littler is brilliant for the game, like Ronnie in the snooker. They will all benefit.

[@Luvarby]

Nice post. Everything you said is on point and true.

[@jaysmith2858]

Hopefully Littler doesn't become an a-hole like O'Scumivan.

[@xxslendermomxx3026]

Ahhh hahaha my YT recommended always has snooker immediately following all my darting content… Sorry, snooker puts my American ass to sleep

[@jaysmith2858]

Hopefully Littler will turn out to be more of a decent human being than O'Scumivan.

[@JustJokingNot]

I think Humphries is just as gd. Cool, calm and collected.

losing with an average of 108 is cruel

He beat watimena 6-2 and watimena had an average of 102, its insane the levels of this kid

Potential to be world class dart player. Unbelievable at only 17 playing at this level

[@dazuk1969]

Littler has been playing at this level for at least the last 3 years that I know of. Probably before that as well. All the top players have been aware of Littler for a long time and none of this is a surprise to them. What a talent eh.

potential to be? he's already there mate

[@dazuk1969]

@@riddlaukI agree with most of that but I still have to give Luke Humphries the worlds best title at the moment as he is world number 1 and world champ. Let's wait and see where Littler ends up in the rankings this year as there is still a long way to go.

The two best of the whole thing in the final well deserved not often that two best in the end Show up in the final. And what a final real high standart congrats for the performance.

[@Afr0D1zzyAct]

I wish people would cut Littler some slack. The dude is 17 years old! Yeah he has lost some games, but he has so much time to grow. If he is this good as he is right now then imagine how he will be in 5 years time. Stop bashing the guy and let him play. Also, hats off to Cross for his performance and sportsmanship.

his attitude when he loses is why people dislike him so much. acts like he should have wins and silverware guaranteed

Rob, you are a wonderful ambassador for the sport. Luke, you are a new ambassador for the sport, Bravo Sir.

[@terencemeikle534]

I remember back in the day, Alain Robidoux spat the dummy when a young Ronnie O'Sullivan played some shots left-handed against him. Well, Ricardo's poor reaction shows just the same kind of wrong-headed thinking. Ronnie changed the way the game of snooker looked, and Luke Littler is doing the same for darts. Using doubles to score off is not arrogance, it's sheer inventive hutzpah. If people don't like it, then tough. All credit to Cross for showing due appreciation for what the lad is doing.

Luke Littler is the best thing to happen for Darts in Decades. Some people might attack his character. But thats irrelevant. His Darts do all the talking that really matters. People can choke on the tears of their own self pity. Or gorge on as much very sour grapes as they want to. It doesnt change a thing. The darting ability of Luke Littler cannot be denied.

[@chaingangsoldier3100]

Damn I actually feel sorry for Cross here, a 108 average and he still lost?! That just shows you the talent even at just 17 that Littler has. Wouldn’t be surprised if he dominates the sport now for the next 10 years, although the big names like Humphries, MVG, Price and Cross among others will always be the huge threats for Littler.

[@olivesheridan1175]

Brilliant match 👏

[@2003fern]

He’s set a new level which is going to separate the men from the boys, the top are fighting to keep or up their levels of performance and that desperation won’t give them any consistency, where as Luke will just do his thing! Please Luke don’t accept Phil Taylor’s offer of coaching! You don’t need it ! Full credit to you, you’ve carved this success yourself! And everyone wants a piece! One of the most genuine ordinary kind guys that has full control of darts, inspiration to us all !
