The final performance also produced historic entries in the record books. According to available information, Littler broke Phil Taylor's record and joined the ranks of players who have managed to win the World Matchplay two years in a row. Phil Taylor and Michael van Gerwen are named among this company. In the match against Price, Littler reportedly achieved several records, and his dominance was the main topic of reactions after the final. Spiegel.de ↗
The tournament in Blackpool is among the most significant events of the darts season, and its format pits elite players against one another. Littler once again confirmed that he can maintain a high level of performance in decisive matches. After the final, assessments emerged suggesting that he currently has no significant counterweight among his opponents. Welt ↗
His lead is also evident in the world rankings. Littler added more than three million pounds to his ranking total, and his margin is so large that, according to calculations, he could go without playing for a longer period and still remain in the lead. Further developments will depend on whether his opponents can break his winning streak at the upcoming major tournaments. BBC News ↗
