Wade survives scare from Asada in tiebreak thriller as day seven concludes at PDC World Darts Championship

Wade had to come from 1-0 and 2-1 down to force a deciding set after it looked like another major upset was on. Credit has to go to Asada though who has shown a small part of what he can do this week. He averaged 93 in the end with 45% on the checkouts in terms of statistics. It was also the first game of this year’s tournament that has had to go to a tiebreak. It was his experience though that got him through. ‘The Machine’s next task though will come in the form of either Jelle Klaasen or Keegan Brown as he hopes for another run. for more information about the PDC World Darts Championship, including schedules and the prize fund breakdown.
