Beau Greaves, 21, women's world no. 1 by the World Darts Federation and three times WDF women's world champion, defeated Littler in the semi-finals, 6-5, and will face defending champion Gian van Veen in in the final on November 23.
Littler, aged 18, was already playing in senior levels aged 17, stunning even the most experienced players. He already won the World Youth Championship in 2023, when he was 16.
