Luke Littler’s five-word Fallon Sherrock message reveals star’s true colors after PDC Draw

On Nov 30, 2024

Luke Littler has shown nothing but admiration for Fallon Sherrock as he spoke about the potential face-off with the ‘Queen of the Palace’ at the upcoming PDC World Darts Championship.

Sherrock, set to battle Ryan Meikle in the first round next month, could have a thrilling encounter with last year’s finalist if she defeats the Englishman. The young darting sensation will join the fray in the second round, thanks to his ranking that exempts him from the initial matches.

He recently broke his silence on the prospect of playing against Sherrock following the draw announcement. Having witnessed the draw, the Premier League champ paid homage to the trailblazer who made history in 2019 by becoming the first woman to win a match at the world championship, eventually making it to the third round. He reminisced how “it was incredible to watch” her performance when he was just 12, reports the Mirror.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the 17-year-old remarked: “If I do come across her, I don’t know what the crowd would be like. Against Fallon, it might be a bit different. I don’t think anyone really missed it [when Sherrock reached the third round]. It was incredible to watch.“

Almost one year after his own memorable adventure at the tournament, Littler has confessed he’s feeling the “buzz” and is eagerly ticking off the days until his return to Ally Pally. Speaking about the forthcoming match, he said: “Good luck to them both. It should be a really interesting game, because Ryan’s playing really good, and so is Fallon.”

“It won’t be easy [against either of them]. No game will be easy this year, but it’ll be a tough test for both of them facing each other in the first round. Either way, I’m very confident, whoever wins. I just can’t wait to get on stage. Ever since the Worlds [last year] it has been crazy this is where it all started for me. The buzz is there, I can feel it.”

After failing to make it past the initial stage in her previous three outings at the world championships, Sherrock is crossing her fingers for a stroke of luck the fourth time around next month to pave the way for a clash with the young prodigy.

Sherrock took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share her thoughts after the draw: “So I now know I’ll be playing Ryan Meikle in round one at the @OfficialPDC World Championship,” she posted. “The winner will play a certain Mr Littler in round two. Can’t wait to play at the Palace again.”
