Luke Littler expressed uncertainty about his performance at the upcoming Flanders Open following emergency dental treatment. The 18-year-old had a tooth extraction in Manchester after enduring prolonged pain. Known for his prowess on the darts stage, Littler found himself “in shock and shaken” post-dentist visit. Departing for Belgium soon, the world champion aims for a third title at the European Tour event in Antwerp.
In an Instagram story, Littler shared his dental ordeal, hoping to recover fully for the tournament. Despite the discomfort, he remains optimistic about showcasing his best darts in Belgium. Preferring solitude due to his recent experience, he clarified his need for personal space during travel.
Scheduled to face either Dylan Slevin or Francois Schweyen on Saturday, Littler anticipates a challenging match. Meanwhile, fellow darts ace Gerwyn Price overcame a hand infection that briefly hospitalized him earlier. Despite the setback, Price plans to compete in Flanders, eyeing the substantial prize money at stake. Having secured a recent victory at the Baltic Sea Darts Open, Price strives for back-to-back triumphs on the European circuit.
