He further added while addressing other players who have been at the top for many years, and Luke Littler had been on my top for the past few months only for the "first" time, he said,

"All these players have been on top for many years — this is my first. In years to come, I'll be used to the circuit, used to going to this place, that place. People say you learn from your losses, so this is what I'm going to be doing now."

He further said,

"Playing against these guys every week. People are going to think I'm the guy to beat, but, to me, that was only what it was like on the junior darts circuit. Whenever I did lose, it was a big shock."
