Luke Littler overcomes early nerves to reach Bahrain Masters quarter-finals

19.01.2024 - 23:23 breakingnews.ie

Luke Littler recovered from a shaky start to power into the quarter-finals of the Bahrain Masters with some brilliant finishing.

Littler took the World Championships by storm over Christmas, the 16-year-old becoming front and back page news as he reached the final at Alexandra Palace.

Despite losing to Luke Humphries, Littler’s performances saw him fast-tracked to the top table of the sport and that included a place in the World Series event in Bahrain, where he faced Hong Kong’s Man Lok Leung.

Littler looked certain to take the opening leg after his first 180 left him needing 84, but he amazingly missed seven darts at a double before Leung took out 107 to snatch the leg.

I Never Disrespect Tennis Community, I Am Part Of It: Rohit Rajpal

India's non-playing Davis Cup captain Rohit Rajpal on Saturday clarified that his "shut-up" remark was meant for a few "agenda-driven" people consistently targeting him and was not directed at the country's tennis community as has been projected. In a free-wheeling interview with PTI, Rajpal said that people questioning his credentials as Davis Cup captain should do a bit of research and he is not someone who would cling to the position in the face of resistance from players. He asserted that it is not necessary that only an accomplished player can become a good coach and guarantee success of the national team. To drive his point, he said extremely successful players did not boast reputed names in their support staff.
