2024 PDC World Darts Championship semi-finals predictions

Comeback kid Rob Cross is the latest to take on actual kid sensation Luke Littler, in what promises to be a Paddy Power World Championship semi-final for the ages.

Cross, the 2018 champion, eighth seed, four-time major champion, winner of four titles on the 2023 big boys' tour and out of jail in the quarter-finals, is the outsider.

You really couldn't make up the impact of Littler, the 16-year-old who is simply demolishing senior players on this fairytale ride to the last four.

Christian Kist was thrashed 3-0, Andrew Gilding 3-1, Matt Campbell 4-1, Raymond van Barneveld 4-1 and now Brendan Dolan, who evaporated under a barrage of big scores and flawless finishing, 5-1 in the youngster's quarter-final romp.

Great players are wilting against Littler who looks utterly fearless.

Cross, so the logic goes, won't wilt because he rarely does. If he had a wilting streak in him then surely we would have seen it in his last-eight showdown with Chris Dobey when he fell 4-0 behind and was being completely outclassed.

An almost unbelievable hour later and it was Cross celebrating a 5-4 win after one of the most astonishing turnarounds Alexandra Palace has ever witnessed.

Voltage's finishing against Dobey was sublime – 57 percent, which over nine sets, is phenomenal.

We know he's got the scoring power and we know he's got the experience. Littler hasn't felt any pressure over the last fortnight – no one has been capable of putting him under any – but Cross could be the first to make the Nuke sweat.

Voltage will, and is the value to, go through to the final.
