Luke Littler has not yet engaged in a conversation with Gian van Veen to resolve their heated argument that took place during the Premier League in Manchester three weeks ago. Van Veen accused Littler of provocative behavior towards the audience during their match, which resulted in a controversial victory for Van Veen against the two-time world champion.
Despite winning a match in Manchester, Littler disclosed that there has been no communication between him and Van Veen. Littler mentioned that he is not inclined to initiate a conversation with Van Veen and suggested that the resolution could potentially happen on the dartboard. He emphasized that the preparation process has remained unchanged despite the ongoing tension off-stage.
Regarding the recent reception he received in Liverpool, Littler acknowledged the crowd’s reaction but compared it to the more intense booing he faced in Rotterdam. He remained focused on winning and expressed confidence in his ability to perform under pressure.
Looking ahead, the Premier League action will resume in Aberdeen, with Littler facing Josh Rock in the quarter-finals and Van Veen set to compete against Jonny Clayton.
