Postpublished at 22:30 BST
Result: Littler 17-5 Van Duijvenbode
Luke Littler talking to Sky Sports: “I’ve seen the average of 117 on the screen at one stage – it was another good performance. I just said to Drirk, well played, it was a good tournament to him. Full credit to him.”
On the potential record average: “I’d seen it on the screen. I had a little smile. I was more focused on the highest average which I shouldn’t have been, but we got the job done. Back-to-back finals.”
On reaching £3m in prize money: “I want to stay dominant. I want to keep winning and winning and stay at the top. I want to break Phil Taylor’s record. I’ve got a fair bit to defend at the back end of the year.”
On Gerywn Price: “Me and Gez always have great games. Gez will want to try and get me into a roaring battle. As long as I can get into the lead that will be the thing.
“I wouldn’t say he gets under my skin but if he’s roaring, I’m like I want to do that.”
