16 year old Luke Littler is exceptional<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nFull Transcript:<\/h2>\n (Question): Looking forward to next year, I\u2019d love to see you back in the Premier League. If the invitation comes next year, would you be tempted to take it?<\/b><\/p>\n
(Rob Cross):<\/strong> \u201cI have to admit, I\u2019ve always said I wanted this year to sort myself out. I felt I was playing well at the back end of last year. I wasn\u2019t too sure if the Premier League was going to suit me with all the travelling and the other stuff. Then the extra pressure also to perform every week. For me, I sort of looked at it and thought this year\u2019s just not my year. But next year, now with the way I\u2019m playing, I\u2019d love to go back in it and have a go.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m fully fixed now. I feel like I\u2019m getting better. My concentration is better. My game is better. I\u2019ve got a lovely routine at the minute. Anything that is thrown at me at the minute, I\u2019m handling it very well. Next year I hope I can get in there and do some damage. If I could lift that [Premier League title], that would be amazing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n(Q): You mentioned Josh Rock earlier, how big of a future do you see for him in the game?<\/b><\/p>\n
(RC):<\/strong> \u201cDon\u2019t get me wrong, he\u2019s still doing this thing that I used to call \u2018box ticking exercises\u2019 really. You\u2019re always asking yourself questions on how do I deal with that, how do I deal with that, how do I get better at that. He\u2019s learning, he\u2019s only 22. He\u2019s got a very bright future. Probably a fair assessment but sometimes he misses a few doubles, but that\u2019s just his youth and inexperience. He puts a lot of pressure on himself but look, when he\u2019s in full flow, there’s not really another player out there that can score like the boy. He\u2019s got a very bright future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n(Q):\u00a0 What\u2019s the best crowd you\u2019ve played in front of?<\/strong><\/p>\n(RC):<\/strong> \u201cI have to admit, I love the Matchplay crowd. The Matchplay in Blackpool. The Winter Gardens is absolutely amazing. I can remember the atmosphere just bounces off. Maybe the best venue, and I only ever played there once, was the Grand Slam of Darts. Do you remember when it was at the Civic? Civic Hall in Wolverhampton. That was when Taylor was playing back in 2017. I qualified for the Grand Slam of Darts and it was at the Civic Hall. It\u2019s been closed since, but when I played there it was incredible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt was the smallest venue I\u2019ve ever played in. It didn\u2019t hold a lot of people but I remember standing on the stage and it felt like someone could grab you! It was so compact and you had the balcony go up just around you and it was the best venue I\u2019ve ever played in. It was totally different.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n(Q): That\u2019s what we love. The jeopardy as fans, we want to see that!<\/strong><\/p>\n(RC):<\/strong> \u201cI think it\u2019s one of the best games in the world. Alright, it\u2019s not physical, but if you look at the scores when they\u2019re coming back at each other, you\u2019ve got three seconds to react. You\u2019re either in or you\u2019re out. Your bottle will go, or you\u2019re in! It\u2019s the greatest game in the world that way!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n(Q): Any other young, up and coming players you\u2019d tell people to look out for?<\/strong><\/p>\n(RC):<\/strong> \u201cI think we already know. The youngster, Nathan Aspinall\u2019s manager has got him, Luke Littler. 16-years-old and I have to admit, he\u2019s your next one that\u2019s going to come through. He missed out on Q school this year, but he\u2019ll go next year. I fancy him getting his Tour card. He\u2019s another one who will keep on learning and so on, but he\u2019s exceptional.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
