I saw it online and in the frist sets Luke Litters was better. He lead 4:2 and had a very good chance to make the 5:2, you have to see that... maybe there are replays on youtube. He should have thrown 112 points (3x18+18+2x20), but he throws 2 darts in dripple 18, unfortunately he doesnt hit the last dart in the double 2, that was very close. Those were three throws that changed the whole game, he didnt win a set after that. He lost all, 5 in a row, a knockout. It would have been nice that a 16-year-old didnt become world champion, that would have been something completely new.
It was maybe one of crucial moments of final. Littler was close from making his lead very comfortable. And then Humphries showed masterclass, winning 6 sets in a row.
Teenager winning World Championship would be something that would be hard to repeat for someone in future. But I think everything is still ahead for Littler. While Humphries win was well deserved.
This ournament had everything - Littler making history, some big upsets, huge comebacks. Except one thing is missing - 9 darter.
