LUKE LITTLER STRUGGLED to hit top form but still did enough to ease into the last 16 of the World Darts Championship with a 4-1 win over Ian White at Alexandra Palace.
“It was just a case of settling into it. I know what’s gone wrong tonight, the doubles, but most importantly, I’ve won.” Littler will face Ryan Joyce in the last 16 after Joyce edged a nail-biting 4-3 win over Ryan Searle in the final match of the afternoon session. Van Gerwen, who is chasing his first title since 2019, charged through eight consecutive legs to seize control of the match at 3-1 but somewhat fell over the line after dropping a scrappy fifth set to the dogged Northern Irishman.
