LUKE LITTLER treated his girlfriend to a belated birthday present thanks to tennis ace Carlos Alcaraz.
The teen sensation couldn’t buy Faith a gift on Sunday as he was too busy winning the World Masters in Milton Keynes.
But Littler, 19, admitted that he won a few quid as Alcaraz won the Aussie Open – and then treated his other half in Manchester.
He said: “Carlos is doing is incredible. Even I had a little lump on him at the weekend and he got me some money!
“We went to the Trafford Centre and got a few things from Pandora. She picked out a few trackies and stuff like that from Zara and then we went for a steak.”
Whether it put a dent into his Sunday’s winnings, he added: “A little bit, a little bit. Not too much!”
Littler also admits that he wants to win THE LOT as he starts his bid to regain the Premier League title.
He has won a remarkable 50 per cent of all the majors he’s entered over the past two years.
But Littler lost the Premier League to Luke Humphries last May and begins his latest quest for the 17-week marathon even against Gian Van Veen in Newcastle on Thursday night.
He said: “I want to win that Premier League trophy back. I want to defend what I won last year, which at the start will be a UK Open title defence.
“There is plenty more with the World Matchplay, Grand Prix and the Grand Slam. It’s a busy year for myself, but I want to go there and retain every title.”
On the Premier League, he wants to also get his hands on more £30k gold darts from sponsor BetMGM for a nine-darter.
He added: “I want to win even more nights than I did last year. I want to hit even more 180s and just try and break my own records in the Premier League.”
On the nine-darter, he added: “I know it’s there. When I am warmed up I can hit 180s after 180s. I was gutted not to hit the nine this weekend because I can feel it’s there. Who knows — I can definitely feel it coming. Hopefully we see one in the Premier League.
“When I am on stage and throwing my darts, obviously the longer point sticks out more and every 180 in the treble, it has always been perfect. I just can’t seem to find it. We have to have another go in the Premier League. Depends — I’ll go off my head.”
