Luke Littleler came from 7-2 and won six consecutive legs in a row while he was fighting for a dramatic victory of 13-11 to equalize against Jermaine Wattimena to reserve his place in the quarter-finals of the world’s darts in Blackpool.
It was the fifth meeting between the pair with the defending world champion who won their four previous games and, in one way or another, he crossed the line on his favorite D10 to break the Wattimena launch and improve this statistics at 5-0 in his favor.
Wattimena tore the script during the opening session of The Clash, putting forward a sensational advance of 4-0 before Littler could retaliate with a summit, Tops ends to remove 100 and obtain a leg on the board.
The Dutchman was not finished there and found another burst of three legs on the rotation to advance 7-2, making seven legs in a nine darter with Littleler unable to answer.

Luke Littleler disappoints the Blackpool crowd after refusing to get the big fish in order to leave an easier finish during his next visit.
“Calm down, I’m still there!” were the words of Littleler when he broke the throw to bring the scoring to 7-3 and he was certainly when he picked up these six monumental legs in a row to go from five behind to 8-7 in advance.
However, Wattimena continued to fight and, when he managed to bring the scoring to 10-10 and the equality broken suicide, the drama reaching the fever with a front by two clear legs.
Littleler held his throwing twice and with the nerves jaming, he had the opportunity to fall back on the victory, pin his favorite double and let out a celebration of the pressure and point from the star of his shirt to show that he is world champion.
