World champ Adrian fearing play-off failure

LEAGUE TABLE many attempts at tops. Despite also recording seven 180s, Lewis was out-scored by Wade and admitted: “I am going 180 and then 60, but I was happy with my finishing in Glasgow – it was better compared to the past three or four weeks.

“I’m going through a rough patch and everybody can see that.

“A lot of my darts were on the wire and didn’t go in. But I’ve got to take the rough with the smooth and hopefully my luck will change.”

In this week’s other matches, reigning champ Gary Anderson plays Raymond van Barneveld, runaway leader Taylor meets Wade, and Hamilton plays Aussie ace Simon Whitlock.
