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

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.

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

[@jinxdaghost]

Hate him or love him the kid is unreal. Got to love Rob Cross too, such a top bloke in victory or defeat ❤️💪

Sadly a lot do throw the hate around. He is an amazing talent and we're lucky to be witnessing it.

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.

[@salimoneus]

potential to be? he's already there mate

[@craigbennett1293]

He already is world class

[@riddlauk]

if you get to a world final... you win 3 events by march...3 nine darters in 2024 allready ....and are in the premier league of darts youre allready world class and probably the best player in the world right now

[@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.

[@mkkravist11]

Well done Lukey ! Remarkable darts by both. An incredible performance from Luke with a final win AND a 9 darter!

[@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.

[@dannyhawkridge2439]

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

[@sandraharris3605]

What a match & well done luke 👏 & love how cross was really sportsmanship there , like them both 👏

[@Bambloozled]

Magnificent darts. Played with great spirit.

[@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.

[@SamCovington-fh7ek]

9 darter on his World Series debut 9 darter on his Pro Tour debut 9 in his Euro Tour debut Is there anything that this kid can't so

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.

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.
