Luke Littler admitted he struggled against an up-for-it Ryan Meikle before coming out on top in his second-round match on Saturday night.
The teen was overcome with emotion afterwards and explained that he had to battle to win his opening tie at Ally Pally.
« That was probably the toughest game I’ve ever played, but you’ve got to get over the line, » Littler said in his press conference. « I don’t know where I pulled that last set from, but I just had to fight until the end.
« When I got on that stage I felt really nervous, but I managed to find my game from somewhere. I know I am the favourite, but you have to focus on winning your first game, and that’s what I did tonight.
« Like I said, it’s the worst game I’ve played. I’ve never felt anything like that tonight. »
