Littler aiming for No.1 spot

THIS IS MY TIME, WORLD GRAND PRIX WINNER WARNS RIVALS

- 

LUKE Littler has told his rivals “this is my time” after winning the World Grand Prix.

The 18-year-old continued his domination of the game by beating rival Luke Humphries 6-1 in the final of the double-in event at the Mattioli Arena, in Leicester.

It was his fourth major title of the year, following his successes at the World Championship, UK Open and World Matchplay.

He is now closing in on the world number one spot, with Humphries having to defend a huge amount of prize money from his winning spree two years ago.

“This is my time and I've just got to keep going,” Littler said.

“Obviously, until I get that world number one spot, I will never call myself the best in the world.

“Whoever’s number one, they're the best.

“But knowing I’m only £70,000 in prize money behind Luke, and then he’s got to defend all of his prize money from the Grand Prix, the Players Championships and the World Championship.
