Luke Littler was able to win his first three matches fairly easily in this year's 2026 PDC DartsWC, but Rob Cross proved to be his toughest opponent yet on Monday.
With the crowd making the eyebrow-raising decision to side with Cross in the match, Littler decided to display his emotion when he hit the winning double, which helped him avoid having to play a last-set decider against Cross.
Littler beat Cross 4-2 in sets and will now face the winner of Luke Woodhouse vs. Krzysztof Ratajski.
