Mervyn King is through to a clash with Madars Razma in the second round at the World Series of Darts Finals and based off his display in a whitewash win over James Wade, the Latvian may be in for a torrid time.

King produced one of the biggest averages in the history of the World Series with 115.62 with only a slack visit or two preventing him from going for the record.

This featured four 180's, a high checkout of 144 and 66% on the doubles as Wade was not given a chance on the doubles.
