A new side to ‘incredible’ Littler? ‘Record breaking isn’t going to stop!’
Luke Littler made more darting history with Betfred World Matchplay victory, completing the Triple Crown and reaching new heights in another record-breaking display. The world champion claimed the Phil Taylor Trophy for the first time after an impressive 18-13 victory over James Wade, where he fired a 107.24 average and posted 64 180s across the tournament to shatter Adrian Lewis' previous record.
