British darts player Luke Littler expressed his frustration over an incident with a fan in Prague ahead of the Czech Open tournament. Littler, 18, encountered a group of fans seeking photos with him upon his arrival at the hotel. Despite accommodating some fans, he was upset when one individual grabbed him without permission, prompting Littler to voice his displeasure on social media.
In a post, Littler emphasized the importance of respecting personal space and proper etiquette when interacting with others. He criticized the fan for physical contact and inappropriate behavior, highlighting the need for mutual respect. This incident adds to a series of challenges Littler has faced, including previous instances of fan abuse during darts events in Liverpool, Munich, and Germany.
Despite the difficulties, Littler remains committed to his sport and is set to participate in the upcoming German Darts Championship in Heidenheim, where he will compete against top players for a substantial prize pool. The tournament, featuring renowned names like Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting, is scheduled to begin on October 17 and will span three days.
Littler’s determination to continue competing reflects his resilience in the face of adversity, underscoring his passion for darts and dedication to his career.
