Luke Littler and Michael van Gerwen both cruised through their semi-finals to set up a blockbuster showdown in the World Darts Championship. The two men were tipped to be among the contenders and will contest the final on Friday night. Littler and Van Gerwen secured 6-1 wins in their last four matches and will battle it out for the ultimate prize at Alexandra Palace.
Littler is into his second successive final but is now a household name having been an unknown quantity a little over 12 months ago. He was beaten by Luke Humphries last year and is aiming to go one better against a man who knows how to get the job done.
Van Gerwen is a three-time winner but hasn't won the World Championship since 2019. When he faces Littler, who has become only the seventh player in history to make back-to-back finals, something has to give in their rivalry with both players winning six of their 12 meetings.
"If we both turn up like we did tonight, it will be really good (final)," said the teenager. "As soon as Luke Humphries went out, that's what everyone was looking at but I had to focus on the quarter-finals and semi-finals. Now I've done that, I can focus on Michael tomorrow. We all know he's hunting for a fourth world title. I'm hunting for my first.".
Van Gerwen, despite his record at the Palace, was taking nothing for granted and, whilst he's only a few sets away from the trophy, he insists there's still a lot to do. "We are still so far away," he said. "I still have to battle. Tomorrow is another day and the title is far away. That's what you have to keep telling yourself. I don't want to make mistakes. I want to keep it that way. I love performing on the stage. It's my passion, it's my life. Of course, I have a family now but it is what it is. I enjoyed it tonight.".
