LUKE LITTLER is still looking for his first title since his World Championship success.

- by MIKE WALTERS

A 6-3 defeat by Joe Cullen at the Players Championship in Wigan left the former boy wonder struggling to meet expectations.

Where his four previous defeats this year had been decorated with ton-plus averages up to 113.91, Littler found it hard to raise his game against 'The Rockstar' and exited in the last 32 with a lowly 87.81 per visit.
