Overview
- Littler beat Chris Dobey 10-5 in the quarter-finals, hitting nine 180s, averaging almost 108, and sealing victory with a 121 checkout.
- He will face top seed Gerwyn Price in the semi-finals after Price overcame Daryl Gurney 10-6.
- The run continued a tense Saturday win over Ricardo Pietreczko, 10-6, which Littler said was fueled by an off-stage remark at 5-5 that he viewed as mind games.
- Against Pietreczko he averaged 102.67, landed six 180s, and recreated the 121 checkout of bull, treble 7, bull that has marked their rivalry.
- Littler holds the world No.1 ranking after last week’s Grand Slam victory as he pursues a first Players Championship Finals crown.
