Emma Raducanu has warned 16-year-old darts sensation Luke Littler to be careful with who he surrounds himself with after his phenomenal run to reach the final of the World Darts Championship.
Littler, who was making his maiden appearance in the tournament, was rendered an overnight sensation as he became the youngest finalist in the competition’s history.
The teenager was ultimately bested in the final by World No.1 Luke Humphries but has now become one of the most recognisable figures in the sport.
In many ways, his journey mirrors that of Raducanu, who became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam in the Open Era when she won the US Open in 2021 aged just 18.
