Luke Littler has accused Michael van Gerwen of trying to get in his head before matches. The duo have enjoyed some epic battles, including the Nuke’s World Championship final triumph earlier this year.
Ahead of matches, players throw darts against a practice board to decide who goes first in a match. Littler has revealed that Van Gerwen attempts mind games to put him off. However, the 18-year-old says he always wins.
Littler told the Stick To Football podcast: “Before every tournament, before we go on stage, we throw for nearest bull to see who goes first and every time I’ll go over to Michael van Gerwen, and he’ll try to get in my head about hitting the bullseye first but always get it before he does!”
