Gerwyn Price defeated Luke Littler in the Bahrain Masters quarter-finals, mirroring their 2024 clash. The world champion's 21-match winning streak across major tournaments came to a halt. Price, a former world number one, has now eliminated Littler from this event for a second consecutive year.

Littler's dominance since his 2024 World Championship win had been nearly absolute, making this loss a significant upset. The match's outcome underscores the fierce rivalry developing between the young phenom and the seasoned Welshman. Price's experience and power scoring proved decisive in the high-pressure encounter.

Attention now turns to the tournament's semi-finals, where Price will face the winner of another quarter-final. For Littler, this marks an early exit that could serve as a motivator for future events. The darting world will watch closely to see how the teenager bounces back from this setback.
