Luke Littler’s Response

The 17-year-old appeared amazed as the crowd’s roars almost drowned out his voice, chanting his name.

What an incredible moment that must have been! He shared with Sky Sports: “I can barely grasp it, I truly can’t believe it.”

“We both delivered exceptional performances, and I mentioned in my interviews that I needed to start off strong, which is precisely what I did.”

“However, I was aware that Michael was right behind me throughout the entire match.”

“Everyone aims to lift this trophy, but it’s crucial to get through a challenging competition, even before the qualifiers.”

“I honestly still can’t believe it.”
