A good rivalry boiling..
Asked how it felt to be chasing Littler at the top of the table, Van Gerwen replied: "I don't have to chase anyone. He has to chase me still. "I'm about 150 tournaments in front of him, so good luck to him."
Van Gerwen was also asked after the match what he made of Littler's inclusion in Forbes' Under 30 Europe Class of 2024 list after the teenager's headline-grabbing start to life on the professional PDC darts circuit.
"What he did and what he created for the sport of darts I think is phenomenal, but take it easy," said three-time world champion."With all the respect, he played c**p tonight and I beat him with a c**p game that's the reality of the moment.
