Luke Littler makes honest admission over nerve-racking World Championships opener Luke Littler went from nought to 140 faster than F1 top dog Max Verstappen in a Grand Prix - and he believes he can go even higher.

Luke the Nuke went nuclear in the fourth set of his 3-1 win against Ryan Meikle on Saturday night, posting a tournament record set average of 140.91 to clinch victory.

But as the people’s champion assessed his astonishing return to Alexandra Palace, he admitted the bottom almost fell out of his PDC World Championship campaign at the first hurdle.
