“I have no words, it’s just crazy, that I’m in a world championship final on my debut,” said Littler, who celebrated with an emotional hug from his mum.
“I was happy winning one game but I could go all the way.
“My target was to still be here after Christmas and now here I am in the final. I’ve just settled on the stage – once I find the rhythm, I’m good to go.”
Littler will face Luke Humphries in Thursday (AEDT)’s final after the third seed swept aside Scott Williams 6-0.
And the youngster from Warrington, in England’s north-west, has no plan in changing his routine over the course of the tournament.
“I’ll just keep doing what I’ve been doing,” added Littler.
“In the morning I’ll go for my ham and cheese omelette, then later a pizza and then practice on the board.”
