Last week Van Gerwen also lost to the Englishman, although the difference was smaller (6-7). Now the three-time world champion showed up poorly. In none, Smudger had a 3-0 lead. Van Gerwen could no longer fight back and had to watch passively as the score read 6-1.

The final victory in Graz ultimately belonged to Littler. The Nuke first beat Ross Smith (with 7-2 and 105.65 average) and left little to Joe Cullen in the final. Littler threw an average of 102.71 against The Rockstar and won 7-4. Good for his second final win on the European Tour, after the Belgian Darts Open. The young Briton was already cheered loudly in Wieze, but the Austrian fans did even better, according to Littler. “I said before that the Belgians were good, but you are so much better. One hundred percent sure.”
