The former
European Tour winner was first through and he defeated Ryan Joyce who mounted a late comeback but couldn't overcome King who eventually got over the line. It was a 93 average with 2 maximums and a 46% checkout rate; he will be back to face Daryl Gurney or Cristo Reyes tomorrow.
Wattimena was next through as he delighted the Zwolle faithful with a 6-3 victory over one of the main seeds Joe Cullen. As well as it delighting the crowd it was overall a brilliant performance as the Machine Gun fired his way to victory with a 96 average.
