‘I’d like to meet up’ – Luke Littler sends message to Emma Raducanu after she revealed she would ‘love’ to see him
LUKE LITTLER has admitted he would like to meet Emma Raducanu after she floated the idea of meeting up.
Littler, 18, shares common ground with tennis whiz Raducanu in that both burst onto the scene as teen prodigies.

Raducanu shattered expectations when she won the US Open in 2021 as an 18-year-old.
Littler similarly defied belief when he made it all the way to the final of the World Darts Championship in 2024 at the age of 16, where he was defeated by Luke Humphries.
Of course, the Nuke has since gone on to become the world champion after going one better earlier this month and propping himself up to World No.2 after winning over ten titles in the year.
Canadian-born Raducanu, now 22, said she would “love” to meet-up following Littler’s Alexandra Palace win over Van Gerwen.
She said: “Amazing respect to him.
“Big time [interested in meeting Littler]. I’d love to meet any top athletes and top individuals who have succeeded in their fields.”
Littler has now given his response to that invite but admitted he isn’t all that familiar with Raducanu’s own world-conquering exploits.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “We [he and Raducanu] have had no involvement as of yet.

“I didn’t know much about her but I know she won what she did at a young age. I’m sure her social media team or mine will be in touch. And I’d like to meet up.”
Radacanu – searching for a seventh coach in her pro career after Nick Cavaday stepped down to focus on his health – has the advantage of some advanced years of wisdom compared to Littler.
She offered some advice about being in the spotlight, saying: “Not much prepares you for that.
“You feel like you’re constantly a bit on edge because you’re being followed [by photographers] or something.
“But I think the biggest part is the judgment and the comments about every single decision that you make.
“That for me was really difficult to deal with, to try and desensitise myself to and just understand that it comes with the territory you’re in.
“But I think trying to stay away from that and keep on my path has probably been the biggest adjustment for me.”
Despite both being willing to meet up, it will need to be at a time when their busy schedules align.
Raducanu is set to be back in action at the WTA 250 in Singapore which starts today and runs through until February 2.
Meanwhile, Littler will be in action at the Winmau World Masters in Milton Keynes running until February 2 before the first night of the Premier League gets underway on February 6.

‘Do not assume that you are safe’ – Major warning over Storm Eowyn power cuts following tragic death of Antrim man
A MAJOR warning has been issued to homeowners following the tragic death of an Antrim man.
Police in Northern Ireland have issued a major warning against the use of portable generators following power outages from Storm Eowyn.

This comes following the death of an Antrim man on Sunday.
Emergency services were called to the scene of an incident near the Ballymacrea Road area of Portrush on Sunday morning.
It is understood that a man in the Portrush area died following possible exposure to fumes from a generator.
Households are now being warned over using portable generators to power their homes after thousands remain without power.
ESB Networks reported this morning said around 246,000 customers are still without power following impacts from Storm Eowyn.
Crews have restored power to 522,000 customers after outages peaked at 768,000 on Friday morning.
Due to severe outages, some homes and businesses may not see power return until later in the week.
Around 65,000 people in Northern Ireland are still without power, with Northern Ireland Electricity warning that it could be February 3 before a full restoration.
Many homes across the country are availing of portable generators to ensure some power is restored.
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland warned that the use of home generators come with a number of dangers.
They said: “Do not assume that you are safe.
“Carbon monoxide from generators is completely colourless and odourless, so you won’t know if it’s there.
“It could kill your family and your pets.”
They went on to issue advice for the use of these generators, advising homeowners to not use them indoors or in enclosed spaces.
This includes homes, garages and crawl spaces, as well as areas with partial ventilation.
They say they should also not be operated near open doors and windows.
Using fans within the home while generators are operating will also not prevent a build up of carbon monoxide.
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland said that all homes should have a battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm fitted to alert of any harmful or dangerous levels.
These alarms should always be fitted as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Dad who claimed he was ‘play-fighting’ with daughter, 14, when he stabbed her to death in kitchen is GUILTY of murder
A DAD who claimed he was “play-fighting” with his 14-year-old daughter when he stabbed her to death has been found guilty of murder.
Scarlett Vickers suffered catastrophic blood loss after the blade was plunged 11cm into her chest and pierced her heart.

Her dad Simon Vickers, 50, has been found guilty of murdering his teen daughter at their home in Darlington, Co Durham, on July 5.
The monster claimed he and Scarlett were just “messing about” when he accidentally threw the blade at her.
But Teesside Crown Court heard the 11cm wound was too deep to have been a tragic mistake.
The heartless dad also attempted to claim that he was the victim after his daughter died in a pool of blood on the kitchen floor.
After his arrest, Vickers told police: “That was it. We were horse-playing.
“I must be the unluckiest man in the world.”
Vickers claimed the playfight started when he and Scarlett began throwing grapes at each other while mum Sarah Hall made dinner.
He said he went to “try and get her” but his daughter tried to push him away so he grabbed the tongs and chucked them.
The dad continued: “She just shouted ‘ah, ah ah’ and fell to the floor.
“Her lips were going bluer and she wasn’t listening when I was shouting at her.
“Sarah took over and the ambulance came and, f***ing hell.”
Vickers described his only child as the “love of my life” and told police his world had “gone to s***”.
He also denied telling paramedics at the scene that he picked up a knife and that it “just went in” after Scarlett “lunged towards me”.
The dad added: “There is no way in the world I would stab my child. I threw those tongs at her.
“I want to die myself. My only child – I don’t know what to say. I can’t even cry. I don’t even know what’s wrong.”
The court heard the dad gave “three different accounts at least before his formal police interview” of what happened.
Prosecutor Mark McKone KC said Vickers must have stabbed his daughter “deliberately with the knife”.
He told jurors the injury inflicted to Scarlett “could not have been caused by throwing the knife or indeed by throwing anything else.”
During her evidence, Scarlett’s mum Sarah Hall said she believed it was an accident and her partner of 27 years would never harm their daughter.
Vickers, who denied murder, has been remanded into custody to be sentenced at a later date.
