THE World Matchplay returns to the Winter Gardens TODAY as Blackpool straps in for one of the biggest weeks in the darts calendar. World No 1 Luke Humphries takes on Ricardo Pietreczko this evening…
Taylor gives Littler a warning Phil Taylor has warned Luke Littler he would be ill-advised to “poke the bear” of Michael van Gerwen ahead of their blockbuster World Matchplay clash. The Nuke, 17, faces Holland’s three-time world darts champion on Monday night at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool. “I’d love to see Luke Littler do well and his first-round game with Michael is worthy of the final.
“If I was in Luke’s shoes, I’d keep quiet and let him think about it, let him do the worrying. “But with Michael, if you poke the bear he might get angry. “They’re both fantastic players and Michael has won it three times already. “But there’s no doubt there are players who want to bring Luke down a peg or two. “Rivalry is great for darts because it sells tickets and it makes viewers tune in on Sky. “Like people wanted to watch Benn and Eubank fight but the kid has got to be careful.
