Luke Littler, the teenage darts sensation, demonstrated his immense respect for Fallon Sherrock while discussing their potential match-up at the PDC World Darts Championship.
Sherrock, known as the ‘Queen of the Palace’, will face Ryan Meikle in the tournament’s first round next month. If she triumphs over the Englishman, a tantalising clash with last year’s finalist awaits her.
Littler, who enters the competition in the second round as one of the top 32 players globally, broke his silence on the possibility of facing Sherrock following this week’s draw announcement. The champion expressed his admiration for the 30-year-old who shocked the sports world in 2019 by becoming the first woman to win a world championship match, eventually reaching the third round.

He recalled how “it was incredible to watch” when he was just 12-years-old. Speaking to Sky Sports, the now 17-year-old said: “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 a year after his own spectacular run at the tournament, Littler confessed he’s feeling the “buzz” and is eagerly counting down the days until his return to Ally Pally. He commented on the upcoming match: “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 progress past the first round in her last three appearances at the world championships, Fallon Sherrock is hoping that her next attempt will be more successful, potentially setting up a tie with the teenage prodigy.
Sherrock shared her anticipation for the competition on X (formerly Twitter), following the draw announcement: “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.”
