Paul Lim playfully remarked that Luke Littler must have been joking when he expressed a desire to avoid facing him at the darts world championships. Lim, aged 71, created history at Alexandra Palace by becoming the oldest player to achieve a victory in the tournament by defeating Jeffrey de Graaf. Prior to the championships, Littler had identified Lim and Beau Greaves as the two players he wanted to steer clear of.

In response to Littler’s comments, Lim expressed his initial disbelief, considering it a jest until he realized Littler was serious. He appreciated the perceived compliment, suggesting that Littler may have thought the crowd would support Lim, as evidenced by the crowd’s backing during the event.

Additionally, Lim commended both Littler and his next opponent Luke Humphries, acknowledging their talents. He compared Littler to Tiger Woods, highlighting Littler’s exceptional skills and unique qualities.

Luke Littler secured his spot in the second round of the championships with a victory over Darius Labanauskas. Littler acknowledged the challenges of the game but expressed satisfaction with his performance, especially emphasizing the importance of winning the first set.

The upcoming clash between Lim and Humphries promises an exciting match, with Lim recognizing Humphries as a standout player in the PDC. Joining a new WhatsApp community offers fans a chance to stay updated on the latest darts news and exclusive content.
