Luke Littler expressed uncertainty about his performance at the upcoming Flanders Open due to emergency dental treatment he received. The 18-year-old had a tooth extraction in Manchester after enduring prolonged pain. Normally dominating the oche, Littler was taken aback and shaken by the dental procedure but remains determined as he heads to Belgium for the European Tour event in Antwerp to pursue his third title.
Sharing his ordeal on Instagram, Littler mentioned the pain he endured and expressed hope for a quick recovery before the tournament. Despite his discomfort, he conveyed his love for Belgium and optimism about showcasing his best darts on Saturday.
Ahead of his match against the winner of Dylan Slevin or Francois Schweyen, Littler also addressed his travel plans, emphasizing a need for personal space as he copes with the aftermath of the dental procedure.
In a parallel narrative, Gerwyn Price faced health challenges as well, being hospitalized for an infected hand earlier in the week. Despite the setback, the 2020 world champion is determined to participate in the Flanders Open, aiming to secure a consecutive PDC European Tour victory.
Price’s resilience stems from his recent triumph at the Baltic Sea Darts Open, where he defeated Gary Anderson in the final. With a chance to clinch back-to-back titles on the European circuit after over two years, Price’s focus remains on the upcoming competition in Belgium.
