Littler, 18, smashed The Machine without dropping a leg or even allowing the 10-times major winner one dart a double.
He also delivered a devastating 105.47 average and admitted: “I played very well there. Obviously towards the end I missed 170 and I thought James was going to do it to win his first leg of the match. He missed it and I took my chance.
“You always expect the best game out of James. But I’m thankful for him not turning up tonight.
“But the 105 would have taken some beating and I was good on the doubles that I’m really happy with.

“I just wanted to get the job done. James didn’t play very well. But tonight wasn’t his day.
“I’m a quick starter and that’s what you need in this tournament.
“Double 10 is always there for me, it’s always knocking about. I can always switch to the 10s. It’s an early wake-up for myself tomorrow!
Littler zipped through the first two sets without dropping a leg in under nine minutes.
