Laid-back Luke Littler is confident and relaxed heading into the PDC World Championship final against Michael Van Gerwen. The 17-year-old is determined to right the wrongs of last year's loss and make history.
Laid-back Luke Littler says he’s sleeping like a baby as he dreams of World glory. And the teenage sensation is adamant he will right the wrongs of last year’s loss to Luke Humphries as he aims to carve his name into folklore. Littler is chilled and losing no kip ahead of his showdown with Michael Van Gerwen .
He could become the youngster-ever PDC champ at just 17, but said: “Every night before I do play a game I’ve slept, I’ve slept well, whereas last year I wasn’t sleeping at all because I was just ready for the next game.

I knew coming back after Christmas, just don’t feel that pressure again and I didn’t. I’ve won plenty of more games since the Ryan Meikle game, I’ve just settled. I can’t wait to get on stage again.” Van Gerwen is pumped, but Littler isn’t fazed and said: “Obviously he’s not won it for numerous years and he’ll be very up for it, so will I. It would be massive for myself, but if I played Chris Dobey in the final, it would still be massive. “Obviously when he’s hunting for his fourth title and I’m hunting for my firs
