Luke Littler was in tears after producing a record-breaking set in his first round win at Ally Pally. On an emotionally charged night, ‘the Nuke’ overcame Ryan Meikle 3-1 in front of a raucous crowd, having struggled in the early going.
Littler wasn’t his fluent self in the first set, and was locked at 2-2 before producing his first moment of magic.
Needing 100 to take the advantage, he checked out on ‘tops tops’, and produced the famous Ronaldo ‘calm’ celebration afterwards.
