The 17-year-old defeated 2020 world champion Cross in back-to-back weekly finals to record his fourth victory of the year.
World No. 1 Luke Humphries will join Littler in the four-man play-offs in London’s O2 Arena on May 23. Humphries’ spot in the playoffs is guaranteed due to the remaining matchups.
With two weeks remaining in the regular season, Littler, a Warrington native, is well-positioned to secure the top spot, eight points ahead of world champion Humphries.
Now that I’m done, all I have to do is play with a free throw. Littler told Sports, “I’ll play to win, but if it’s not to be, it’s all about getting ready for London.”
When asked if he is currently the greatest player in the world, Littler said, “No.” I’m not sure who it is.
