Luke Littler sent ominous message by Michael van Gerwen after £10k prize snatched away | Other | Sport

« In this format, in the Premier League, you have to be good week after week. It’s non-stop and I think that was good for me. I was always putting energy into my game and that helps me in the long run.

« It is only week two. Everyone was saying ‘last week you lost in the first round!’ Don’t worry, it’s not a sprint, it’s a marathon. »

Smith leads the way after two weeks of Premier League action, with four matches won in total. Van Gerwen and Littler are next up on five points apiece, with Gerwyn Price currently occupying fourth spot.
