He played so well, I was lucky at the end,” Littler said after the match.
“I just kept telling myself to keep going, keep pushing, and it paid off in the end.”
Littler’s incredible comeback win sets up a quarter-final clash with world number one Gerwyn Price, a match that promises to be a thrilling encounter.
But once I started hitting those doubles, I knew I had a chance. It’s all about belief and determination in those moments, and I’m just grateful I was able to come out on top,” Littler added.
