Overview
- World champion Luke Littler was beaten 6–5 by Beau Greaves in the World Youth Championship semifinal in Wigan.
- Greaves averaged about 105 and won the decider with an 11-darter, becoming the first woman to reach the event’s final, where she will face Gian van Veen on November 23 in Minehead.
- The loss came less than 24 hours after Littler overpowered world No. 1 Luke Humphries 6–1 to win the World Grand Prix, collecting £120,000 to Humphries’ £60,000.
- Littler narrowly missed a nine-darter in the final after eight perfect darts, excelling in multiple set deciders under the double-in, double-out format.
- He is set to remain in Wigan for Players Championship 31 and 32 this week as he narrows the ranking gap to Humphries to roughly £70,000.
