Shouldnt be a question mark in the title. It is the best UK open match ever.
That's recency bias imo. There have been great UK Open matches, but this is certainly one of the best

@@maximilianbauer5958Nice googling. But no!
The first 7-8 legs were insane
Yes but after little dropped
😊p @@anttitakala375
I wasn’t planning on watching this whole video, but you couldn’t take your eyes off it. What a game 🎯❤️
13:25 - watch Heta's left hand. Absolutely fascinating how he lets the next dart roll down his palm, just before he throws. You'd think that'd be offputting but he just does it without even thinking. So cool!
How on earth did you notice that 😅
I just hold them by the points like Anderson. Easiest way to pick up next dart and they are closer to pick up. imo. And no rolling required. :D
@@lukewlsn2805 Have absolutely no idea lol.
All the players do that
luke does it aswell?
Have you noticed how everyone who plays Luke are raising there game almost 100%, makes for great darts. They all know he is super good.
Litter is a big crying Baby. He can not lose😂 watch the end
After seeing the pace and performance of this match, you can understand why most people hated the final
Biggest anti-climax, both of them do nothing for me and I didn't watch it lol, after not taking my eys of it from the start.
Couldn’t believe what i was watching😳out of this world darts. Luke littler is simply a fantastic player,but well done Heta,you raised your game for the occasion.👏👏👏👏👏
Little Luke did some growing up there. It's a different world amongst the hungry. The guys fighting for top 10 are gonna test you in every way
Didn’t you see the end of the match? Seems he still has some growing up to do
brilliant darts from both players what a match
Love the crowd reaction after Luke's outburst. "Yes Luke despite your excellence you're still just a lad without the poise of the legends" not yet ;)
What are you on about? The biggest legend of the game, Phil Taylor, would have outbursts at times.
Imagine this at the ally pally 😮😮
felt like littler is a bit salty in the end hahaha
yeah that no turn around for heta was classless.
@@phrozen755 He was clearly gutted and took a minute to compose himself. After this, he shook his hand and hugged his opponent. Nothing wrong with that tbf for a 17 year old.
He's a good player. But I enjoy seeing his youth get humbled by the experienced.
@@TheMattB81 that’s totally fair - lots of emotions there for that young kid, in time I’m sure he’ll be better with that.
@@MK-hp8zr says a lot about you
An amazing game to watch. I started watching and couldn't stop.
Simply fantastic darts guys . Well played the pair of you.
Best match I have ever seen and I was around when Bristow was still playing.
Taylor v Lewis GSOD 2013 ? In fact Littler V Searle on the pro tour final a few weeks ago had higher averages than this
Never said best averages just said best match. @@eamonwilkinson2333
I was around when Bristol STARTED playing ,, this was a fantastic battle 👍
I love that Luke didn't give up! Almost turned the game on its head!
Intense battle, great performances by both
He has perfected the Australian look
Looks like Ivan Millat 😅😅
Looks like Hank from me myself and Irene
Best game I have seen in years ❤
These two were up for it, probably the highest averages game iv watched
Holy cow, what a fight that was in the beginning. if that pace held up someone was going to have a heart attack😂
A truly great match. I hope there are as many of them as possible. As for Littler, every time I look at him I think he faked his year of birth. Because he looks twice as old as he is 🤷 And finally, very rude behavior on his part. Whether we win or lose, our opponent deserves respect.
Well that was an awesome match guys. One of the best i ever watched for sure. To bad someone had to lose.
Yes, it was!
This is stunning averages. I would like to pick both gentlemen on my five man team to play the cash comp again at Phil Taylor's Pub . Won once would love to win it again. Respect 🙏 to grate talent.
The delayed handshake is so disrespectful. Turn around. Take your medicine. Show some class.
remarkable skill fellas ...from a non darts player ...began watching a bit after Luke!
are there detailed stats anywhere? like lege by leg avg, trebless visits etc
you can check livescore(scoreboard)or sofascore
Wow !! Amazing, and I think I've only hit 180 twice in a match !! lol :)
YES
🔥
NEVER KEEP YOUR BACK TO YOUR WINNER, ALWAYS FACE THEM AND SMILE COZ THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL DO WHEN YOU BEAT THEM
Good philosophy. I had to stop at 8:17 and watch a video on how the boards are made. They are beating the same spot to pieces
And Luke is just 17! Don’t burn out Luke.
Darts must be breaking the sound barrier I hear them hit the board before they get there.
Very deserving victory.
Heta has worked on his throw. He's a bit quicker between darts now.
What a game
Beaten by the better player on the day
Then Heta called Dawson a douche in his interview just like he did in his players champs interview. 👏👏
Just some good banter between mates
I really feel like Littler throwing slower would do him well. It seems he can't collect collect himself and calm the fire. The guy is amazing, but he's somewhat angry inside.
Luke is no fluke but Heta getting better.
Surprised they kept the pouting at the end in the final edit
We are still rooting for you Luke
Lol no
Speak for yourself LOL. Appreciate his talent but frankly he doesn't rate in any of my favourites.
@@jello1977 Same here. He needs to calm down that bad attitude that keeps showing progressively over the last 3 weeks.
Brilliant it was
Wow!
Yeaah, nice aim😲😲✌
I would love it, if they would post every match played on a major. Like an archive of darts history moments... :/
Very interesting 😊
そんな簡単に180を出せるものじゃないでしょ…アレンジも凄すぎるよ…
Best match in years imo
Yes and don’t call me Sherley☝🏽
Yes
For me THAT , was the Final ! 👍🍻🇬🇧
You won’t see many better matches than this EVER
This match deserved a better crowd
The kid needed humbling good job Damo
Shame heta got trounced by van de burger in the next round 😂😂
@@CrazyPanda688 yeah I thought he was gonna win the whole tournament
Heta got humbled the next round
Wow🤩
what darts is Luke Littler using in the video?
Luke Littler Loadout darts
Why has the crowd been silenced?
I hope this game has hashtag #l-eta and not the other way round.
Let's go Damon
All it was missing was a 9 darter 😮
Small tantrum at the end? 😂😂
Needed a final leg decider to be the best.
I’m betting everyone will turn on littler very soon if they haven’t started already.
nice, turn on him for a momentary lapse of judgment that we can only judge from a limited angle on tv. good call!!!!!
If you averaged 107 and missed darts to have a hold of through to go through just a leg before you'd be miffed as well. Other players have won majors, have won titles, have won opens, Littler has yet to win a title aside from the Bahrain one. At 17, with all that pressure on you and you fall short playing the best darts of your life, of course you'll be upset. There's a massive difference between what Littler done, despite shaking hands seconds after PDC cut the video, and what Dimi did in the final when everyone did turn against him
@@themarketm8382 Yes littler behavse as an asshole for 7-8 games straight and Dimi just take her time. Big difference.Clearly Littler is an arrogant aggresive kid inside.
The water the crowd reacted when he missed T19 & gestured to throw the last dart on the floor, was a lot of boos.
Put the two names together
Well in all fairness to Luke Damon treated him like it was a world cup match with all his little antics so I guess Luke was taken aback a bit
Bit of a clown aren't you?
Looks like a Phil Taylor vs Simon Whitlock to me! Next generation is insane
Littler showed his childish side at the end......Well done Heta
Slight bias but Wright v Barney 2017 still no. 1 for me!
Brilliant 👏
only one finish on x14 the rest all on x 20 and x10 for littler
double 10 is littler´s double
yeah nah too many holes in it to be the best, excellent tho
Lots of grown adults deciding how a 17 year old on the big stage in his first year should act. Tiny lapses of judgment can result in people thinking you're the devil lol. Weirdos
He had 17 years to learn how to behave.Weird maybe you had behaviour problems at this age too?
@@Tomi611 All had behaviour problems at this age
you're acting like he kicked Damon in the head or something@@Tomi611
@@Tomi611 he has had a couple of months to learn how to behave when he loses in a televised darts tournament. And he’s only a teenager. Give him a break…
@@georgebolshakov4854 Not at all. maybe with low IQ sure.
During his run in the Worlds Littler was shown world class sportsmanship from Matt Campbell , Barny and Rob Cross he was shown the way to behave but ignored it , and has become a spoilt little brat in my opinion ....can a Gerwyn Price like meltdown be far away ? time will tell !
Dude he is 17 and you expect him to behave like seasoned players? And even older players behave like little kids from time to time. He is still learning to control his emotions on the big stage.
Wow
The most exciting match of darts I’ve ever seen and the crowd is CRICKETS. Why was the crowd so bad for the UK Open? I mean not one match did they get loud and party!
Prawn sandwich brigade isnt it? It's always a dead crowd there.
They were busy watching the match
@@martinkerrmusicYou have to be mute to watch something?
UK open has a civilized crowd. Been this way forever.
Mannequin crowd, are they playing Bingo? Great Darts though. 👍🎯
His head is starting to get big.
Littler is getting bigger
Littler is going to have to grow up quick and show a little more class after a defeat if he is gonna stay with the big dogs. Always so mopy after the loss. I get it, but the greats show more class. 3rd Time I've seen this now.
Hilarious to see all the grown men in the comments talking shit on a 17 year old who has half a million pound in the bank from playing darts while they're sat at home, middle aged, wasting their time making comments he'll never see. You will all still watch him next time 🤣
TY for the comments. Perfect. Nobody has said it better.
Luke Littler doesn't have half a million in the bank. And stop being a snowflake. It's just social media. Luke Littler is overweight and overrated 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Wouldn't get too wound up. Only SM!
No harm in learning manners/sportsmanship mate
stand up :)
Leg set betting hmmmm
Heta looks like like a right gringo
So I must’ve missed something along the way, can someone explain why Heta points his hand at his face whenever he hits a good score or a checkout?
Watch Australian tennis player, Leyton Hewitt.
Shame then Van den Burgh ruined the Open with his dirty tactics in the next match & the final, what a let down after one of the best matches ever.
Mate, they're not playing pub darts with a 3 dart average of 30 like you're use to playing. They're playing at top level for a decent paycheck. Taking a step back to compose yourself if perfectly reasonable.
😱😢
Luke seriously needs to work on his loosing attitude. Please just congratulate the winner before moving to self reflection
Poor sportsmanship at the end by Littler. Needs to grow up.
Pretty lame when Shitler looks like he is 30 yrs of age only being 17
Well aren't you a wanker. What does looks have to do with darts
Luke Littler keeps bottling it, can't get over the line in semis and finals, quite scared he's not gonna be as big as people think.
He has already won a final in his first year

Nailed it once again to be honest Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns
I totally agree with you! Investing your money wisely is a great way to grow your wealth and achieve financial stability. Saving money is important, but investing can help you make your money work for you and potentially earn higher returns. It's all about finding the right investment opportunities that align with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Have you considered any specific investment options? 📈💰
There are several investment options you can consider based on your financial goals and risk tolerance. Some popular options include stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies , and real estate.
Yeah especially the crypto market is very juicy since this year But It's important to do thorough research or consult with a financial advisor to understand the potential risks and returns of each option. Remember, investing always carries some level of risk, so it's essential to diversify your portfolio and not put all your eggs in one basket. 📊💸
Of Cus some people still invest blindly and loss money
@@mathewmiller2749Yeah, I totally get what you mean! Investing without proper research and understanding can be risky. It's important to educate ourselves about different investment options and make informed decisions. Blindly following trends or tips can lead to poor outcomes. Taking the time to learn about the market, analyze potential investments, and seek advice from professionals can help minimize risks and increase the chances of success. It's all about being smart and informed when it comes to investing! 💪📚
The frightening thing is that I don't think Littler was playing his top game here. When Littler hits his peak in a year or two he will be demolishing the rest of the guys with maybe the exception of Humphreys and MVG.
He ain't that good
@@traveladdict4884 It will be interesting to see if he can get better. He needs to improve his occasional weak finishing. Are you saying he won't be in the top 3 within 2 years?...
@BuyOneGetOneFree I can't say he won't be, but he won't be demolishing the rest. He's good for his age, but does he have the right character to deal with fame? I'm not sure
@@traveladdict4884 "He ain't that good" He hit a 105 average, 28 140+ and 40% on the doubles in 18 legs... if that's not good then I wish I was shit at darts. Compared to the final when the average was 96, 40% on doubles and only 25 140+'s , then yeah... he's definitely got what it takes to demolish them
@@themarketm8382 Heta played the game of his life and won which is fair enough. But Littler is consistently this good and could conceivably get even better. I think his character is fine. He certainly has livened-up the current darts scene..!
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Funny uk open with Australians isn't it . Uk open should mean only british players should play or am I wrong
Gotta love how the PDC shields Littler from criticism when he loses as poorly as he does. What a joke the media is. Bet this comment gets deleted.
not bad, but not the best
