    A hint of adversity hasn't been enough to slow down defending champion Luke Littler in his quest for back-to-back world darts championship titles

    A hint of adversity hasn't been enough to slow down defending champion Luke Littler in his quest for back-to-back world darts championship titles


    The 18-year-old has reached the final for the third straight time after a convincing 6-1 win over Ryan Searle at Alexandra Palace.

    Littler says he needed to find some resilience after dropping the opening set, on Sky Sport.



    Littler will take on the winner of the other semi-final between Gary Anderson and Gian Van Veen .
