My favorite is Xiaoxiao Receive the biggest prize in darts history. 18 years old Return to Alexandra Palace The reigning world champion, world number one and the player everyone else wants to beat (or maybe just avoid) comes off an amazing year that has seen him win the Open, Match Play, Grand Prix, Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship.
Littler’s dominance was reminiscent of Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen, who often felt like they had beaten their opponents before even taking the stage. The teenager is beginning to have the same aura, but it’s unclear whether the opening notes of his walk-on song “Greenlight” made his opponents tremble.
“I don’t know if it’s a lead, but it’s just a game of darts,” Littler said. “When people hear the green light, are they going to freak out? That’s what’s going on in their head. They can decide that. I still have darts to play and there’s a world championship here.”
The finals will be held on January 3rd.
