Littler arrives in the last eight having survived one of the games of the tournament, edging past Rob Cross in a high quality thriller in which both players averaged north of 100.
That escape appeared to sharpen the world number one’s focus even further, and he has looked increasingly locked in as the championship has progressed.
Standing in his way is Ratajski, a player few would have expected to reach this stage, but one who has quietly gone about his business to book a quarter final spot.
Known as “The Polish Eagle”, Ratajski is methodical, composed and excellent at dictating tempo, often slowing matches down to disrupt rhythm, an approach that could test Littler’s naturally fast paced style.
While Ratajski’s consistency and game management should not be underestimated, this matchup appears to hinge on scoring power.
Littler’s ability to apply sustained pressure on the treble has been a defining feature of his run and has repeatedly created extra opportunities to close out legs and sets. That firepower gives him a clear edge over a solid but less explosive opponent.
Off the oche, Littler has made headlines in recent days, but there is little suggestion that outside noise will distract him.
If anything, it may add further fuel to a player already driven to defend his crown and underline his dominance on the sport’s biggest stage.
Ratajski’s tendency to switch to 19s could limit the number of maximums in the contest, though Littler’s scoring bursts mean a healthy total of 180s still looks likely.
Unless the Pole can consistently blunt Littler’s scoring, the reigning champion should have the gears required to pull clear and move one step closer to another world title.
