Luke Littler sets Grand Slam of Darts record with 16-2 annihilation of Jermaine Wattimena
LUKE LITTLER shattered more records as he obliterated Jermaine Wattimena 16-2.
The Nuke laced the biggest ever Grand Slam of Darts quarter-final win with huge check-outs of 164 and 167.
In all, four ton finishes littered a breathtaking display as the 17-year-old averaged 105.11 and swept up the last eight legs.
He also notched maximums in the first eight legs, even getting eight shots into a nine-darter in just the second leg.
It meant Littler mocked murmurings over early exits in recent major events as he conjured one of darts’ best performances of the year.
Fans loved it as the Warrington whizkid never let up – signing off with a century checkout.
One viewer posted: “Unplayable. Simply unplayable.”
Another pointed out: “105 isn’t even an insane average, it looked much better than that.”
And a third claimed: “May as well just hand the trophy to him now!”
Littler now face Gary Anderson or Gian van Veen in Sunday’s semi-finals.

The other last-four clash features giantkillers Mickey Mansell and Martin Lukeman.
Littler’s victim Wattimena averaged a respectable 92.69.
But the Dutchman landed only two of his 11 attempts at a double – compared to Littler’s 16 from 26.
However, one fan suggested: “It would appear Littler is unstoppable when he plays other fast players. So with that being said, Mickey Mansell could do something hilarious.”
