Littler 3-1 Van Veen (0-0)

This is looking ominous for Gian van Veen. He needs this mini break to try to regroup.
The Dutchman has not played badly for much of this match, in fact, for the first three sets he played very well.
Luke Littler has just been that bit better. The teenager is really putting on a show and has won nine of the past 10 legs.
