Event Statistics
Description Luke Littler preserved his Betfred World Matchplay hopes with a stunning comeback victory against Jermaine Wattimena on an epic night of second round action in Blackpool.
Littler looked set to suffer a shock exit after Wattimena raced into a 7-2 lead, but the teenage superstar underlined his battling qualities to win through a Winter Gardens classic
Josh Rock also won through a World Matchplay marathon on Day Five, edging out three-time champion Michael van Gerwen 13-11 in a captivating affair.
Van Gerwen was imperious in the opening exchanges, racing into a 4-1 lead before defying a mid-game rally from Rock to restore his three-leg buffer at 9-6.
However, the Dutchman paid the price for spurning opportunities to lead 10-6, and Rock suddenly found his brilliant best – inspired by a 152 checkout – to win four straight legs and hit the front.
