World NO:2 Through

Lewis wins

In the evening session, Adrian Lewis reached the quarter-finals with a 10-5 win over Dave Chisnall.
The World Champion was tied at 5-5 against the St Helens man, but when they returned from the break Lewis fired in four 180s and took out 146 and 104 as he won five legs in a row.
He then clinched the match with a 123 checkout to send a message to the rest of the field with a 105.80 average - with the eight players in action on Saturday averaging 100.14 between them.
Lewis will face Kim Huybrechts in the quarter-finals after the Belgian won a tense match with Wes Newton 10-8.
"It was a fantastic match, one that deserved a nine-darter," said Lewis.

"I've never played Dave on TV and he's got a lot of bottle. I'm just happy to get through that. I don't know much about Kim but he's done well to get past Wes so I will have to be at the top of my game because he's bound to be on a high."

Wade victory

World number three James Wade admitted Ronnie Baxter let him off in their second round clash as he battled back from 3-0 down to win 10-7.

Wade now faces Raymond van Barneveld after the Dutchman treated the German crowd to superb display of finishing in his 10-5 win over Mark Walsh.

"Mark started really well so I had to play that well to get through, those 121 checkouts were so crucial," said Van Barneveld.

"Playing James is always 50-50, last week he beat me in the World Matchplay, but I'm feeling confident and relaxed
