Emotional commentator left fearing for Luke Littler after ‘absolutely out of order' incident at World Cup of Darts
The PDC have been urged to take action NOT A GOOD LUKE Emotional commentator left fearing for Luke Littler after 'absolutely out of order' incident at World Cup of Darts LUKE LITTLER may never return to Germany following the World Cup of Darts. Littler and England team-mate Luke Humphries were dumped out of the tournament by the host nation.

Littler, 18, was on the end of boos from his very first dart which left him "completely rattled". Belgian darts legend Erik Clarys hit out at the crowd as it could have an "effect" on players as young as Littler. He said on VTM: "Just imagine being Luke Littler.

Everywhere else, he's celebrated – but here in Germany, he's being booed from start to finish. "I've worked with kids his age on the Development Tour. "You can't imagine the effect something like this has on young players. "It gets into your head. All you want to do is go home. Far away."

The England pair were slammed for a lack of teamwork by Welsh ace Gerwyn Price. Price insisted that they lacked "connection" and that they needed more "camaraderie off the stage".

Horse racing-Docklands wins dramatic opening race at sunny Royal Ascot
ASCOT, England, June 17 (Reuters) - Docklands claimed victory in a thrilling battle with favourite Rosallion in the opening race at a gloriously sunny Royal Ascot on Tuesday, the start of five days of high-class racing, fashion and big-stakes betting at the famous English course. Catching the leaders after missing the initial break, Docklands drove to the front to press Rosallion all the way to the line, with the judges ruling in his favour, despite jockey Mark Zahra dropping his whip. The Harry Eustace-trained victor, second in this race last year, gave the trainer his third Royal Ascot winner. "I just crept as much as I could and just got room at the right time," said Zahra. "He burst through and just kept responding. It's one of the top moments of my career for sure." Horses will compete in 35 races across the Royal meeting hoping to net a share of 10 million pounds ($13.5 million) of prize money. As well as eight Group 1 races with prizes worth a minimum of 650,000 pounds, the card features several handicaps attracting big fields of hopefuls. The opening day features two other Group 1 contests including the King Charles III Stakes which will see Australian raider and last year's winner Asfoora take on in-foal mare and Group 1 winner Believing. In Tuesday's feature race, the 650,000-pound St James's Palace Stakes, the year's best three-year-old colt milers including Irish, French and British 2,000 Guineas winners Field Of Gold, Ruling Court and Henri Matisse, will race over the round mile. The prestige of Royal Ascot attracts trainers from all over the world and this year sees contenders from nine countries including Japan, Australia, France, Ireland and the United States. Leading U.S. trainer Wesley Ward will miss the meeting for the first time since 2012 but France's Lazzat, trained by Jerome Reynier, is fancied in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes for new owner Wathnan Racing, while leading Japanese sprinter Satono Reve is well backed for Noriyuki Hori in the same race on Saturday. Multiple Classic winning trainer and Ascot's most successful current trainer Aidan O'Brien is chasing 100 winners at the Royal meeting and starts the week on 91. Ballydoyle sends out a strong string including Wednesday's Prince of Wales's Stakes hope Los Angeles, last year's Irish Derby winner, and Lingfield Derby trial star Puppet Master. O'Brien also trains Gold Cup favourite Illinois, who replaced long-distance star Kyprios as Ballydoyle's first string for Thursday's race after the dual-Gold Cup winner was retired in May due to injury. First run in 1807, the Gold Cup is a gruelling two-and-a-half mile marathon that tests stamina and attracts the best staying horses in Europe. One of the oldest and most prestigious races at Royal Ascot, the Gold Cup has attracted eight entries this year including the Aga Khan stable's Candelari and second-favourite, the Godolphin-owned Trawlerman. Epsom Derby-winning Ryan Moore is the meeting's top current jockey with 85 wins on the course and he will have several chances to add to his haul. Britain's most successful female jockey Hollie Doyle is booked for 10 rides and will be looking to add to her 1,000-plus career wins. While Royal Ascot attracts the biggest global names in racing, it is not all about the powerhouses such as Godolphin and big spenders like Amo Racing. Small trainers have enjoyed big success in previous years and this week will see the likes of 100/1 Whitcombe Rockstar for small Dorset trainer Kieran Burke compete in the Royal Hunt Cup, while Regional starts at 17/2 in Tuesday's King Charles for Yorkshire-based Edward Bethell having cost around 3,500 pounds. Some 300,000 visitors are expected to attend with entry tickets running from 25 pounds into the thousands for premium passes. ($1 = 0.7387 pounds)

Katie Boulter to face Sonay Kartal at Nottingham Open
Sun surprisingly reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year, beating Emma Raducanu in the fourth round, but she has struggled to build on that and Boulter was in control from the start. Right at home & winning with a smile ❣️@katiecboulter loves you all at the Lexus Nottingham Open #BackTheBrits 🇬🇧 — LTA (@the_LTA) June 17, 2025 'I wasn't feeling amazing coming into this match,' said Boulter, who put aside the disappointment of losing the British number one ranking to Raducanu, on the BBC. 'I felt like it's been quite windy the last couple of days, just been trying to find my rhythm. Just stepping out onto this court, already I feel I'm right back at home. That's a nice feeling to have.' The 28-year-old, who hails from nearby Leicestershire, defeated close friend Jodie Burrage to win her first title in Nottingham and across the last two years has played six matches against compatriots at the event. 'I've played enough of them now,' said Boulter with a smile ahead of an intriguing contest against British number three Kartal. Sonay Kartal will next play Katie Boulter (Mike Egerton/PA) 'It's just another match for me. I have so much respect for Sonay, she's an incredible tennis player. I've always said to her she's going to pass my ranking. 'I know how good she can be and dangerous. We actually played a really close match on grass quite a few years ago so I know it's going to be an absolute battle.' Kartal was also comfortable in her opening match, beating France's Leolia Jeanjean 6-3 6-4, while an all-British first-round contest went the way of Fran Jones, who defeated Harriet Dart 7-5 6-4. A strong showing from the home contingent, meanwhile, was completed by teenager Mimi Xu, who marked her WTA Tour debut by beating American Katie Volynets 6-3 6-3. The 17-year-old, ranked 350, overcame a gap of more than 250 places and is making a strong case for a Wimbledon main draw wild card.
