Krzysztof Ratajski became the first player through at the resumption of the 2020/21 PDC World Darts Championship with a straight sets win over Simon Whitlock.
A potentially close encounter was anything but as he punished Whitlock's missed doubles and now a big chance awaits for either him or Gabriel Clemens who face off in the Last 16.
While admitting neither him or Whitlock played well, the time away over Christmas paid off.
"Of course, I am really happy to be in the last 16 for the first time at the World Championship," said Ratajski.
"I practiced for many hours over Christmas in the hotel to be ready for the rest of the tournament.
"This match wasn't good, we both played poor but a win is a win. It doesn't matter what you average, I've lost plenty of matches with 100-plus averages."
