Luke Littler is already eyeing up his next televised nine-darter after hitting the perfect leg in his win over Nathan Aspinall on Friday.
The 16-year-old is in Bahrain this week for his first event since his remarkable run to the final of the World Championships.
He wrapped up a 6-3 win in his opening match of the tournament after a shaky start in his against Man Lok Leung on Thursday.
A tougher test awaited in the quarter-final against Aspinall, but Littler raised the roof in the very first leg with the perfect nine-darter.

The crowd went wild as Littler bounced around the stage before being embraced by a smiling Aspinall.
Littler made sure his achievement wasn't in vein as he wrapped up the match to progress to the semi-finals.
Speaking after his win, Littler revealed what Aspinall told him on stage when they embraced after his nine-dart finish.
"After I hit it, Nath went 'it's only hold of throw', I know myself [laughs]," he told ITV with a smile.
"But I'm just glad to win. I think I played really well there."
Littler's nine-darter was the 90th televised perfect leg in darts history and makes him the youngest player to ever do it.
"It's good to get one [a nine-darter] on TV and obviously the first one of the year goes to me," he added.
When told that Phil Taylor was the only other player to hit a nine-dart finish at the World Series of Darts, Littler's beaming smile grew even larger.
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

And the teenage darts sensation already has his eye on hitting even more nine-dart finishes having only just started his professional career.
He added: "Well, hopefully I hit a few more!"
His win over Aspinall set up a mouthwatering semi-final clash with Gerwyn Price and put him just two victories away from clinching the Bahrain Masters.

But Littler wasn't getting ahead of himself in thinking about the prospect of lifting the trophy.
"I just take it game by game, if I win, I win, if I lose my next game, it is what it is," Littler said.
"But I don't think about losing, I only think about winning."
