Luke Littler produced a masterclass performance to secure his place in the semi-finals of the prestigious Winmau World Masters darts tournament. The reigning world champion delivered a commanding display, sweeping aside opponent Josh Rock with a comprehensive 4-0 victory in Milton Keynes.
Littler's Dominant Display
Littler wasted no time asserting his authority on the match, averaging an impressive almost 106 throughout the contest. His precision was further highlighted by hitting eight maximum 180 scores, demonstrating why he currently holds the world champion title. The match concluded swiftly, with Rock unable to mount any significant challenge against Littler's relentless scoring power.
Semi-Final Showdown With Price
Following this dominant quarter-final victory, Littler now faces Welsh darts star Gerwyn Price in what promises to be a thrilling semi-final encounter later on Sunday. Price earned his place in the last four with a hard-fought 4-2 win over Chris Dobey, setting up what many anticipate will be a classic clash between two of the sport's biggest names.
Humphries Continues Impressive Form
In the other half of the draw, Luke Humphries continued his excellent tournament form with a convincing 4-0 victory over Danny Noppert. Humphries, who achieved a spectacular nine-dart finish during Saturday night's play, maintained his momentum with another polished performance.
Humphries will now face Gian van Veen in his semi-final match. Van Veen, who reached the final of this year's World Championship, secured his semi-final spot with a 4-2 triumph over experienced campaigner James Wade.
Potential Heavyweight Final
Should both Littler and Humphries emerge victorious from their respective semi-finals, the tournament could culminate in a blockbuster final between the world champion and one of his closest rivals. Such a matchup would represent a genuine heavyweight showdown in the world of professional darts.
The final stages of the Winmau World Masters are set to conclude on Sunday evening, with fans eagerly anticipating whether Littler can maintain his dominant form and potentially add another major title to his growing collection.
