Luke Littler has shared that Mensur Suljovic predicted their match in the third round of the World Darts Championship even before the tournament began. Littler, aged 18, advanced in the competition by defeating Welsh player David Davies in straight sets.
With Gerwyn Price eliminated by Wesley Plaisier in the same quarter, Littler remains a strong contender for the title at Alexandra Palace. Suljovic also secured a win against Joe Cullen in a contentious afternoon game.
Cullen expressed frustration over Suljovic’s slow gameplay, accusing him of ‘cheating’ on social media. Despite the criticism, Suljovic focused on his upcoming matches.
Prior to their face-off, Littler mentioned receiving a message from Suljovic predicting their meeting in round three. Littler acknowledged Suljovic’s good performance and welcomed the challenge.
A visibly upset Cullen showed discontent with Suljovic’s pace during their match, leading to a tense post-game moment. Cullen criticized Suljovic’s conduct on social media, labeling it as ‘cheating.’
Littler had a successful evening, with potential threats like Cullen and Ryan Joyce being eliminated. The path to the final looks more favorable for Littler as other contenders like Chris Dobey were defeated.
