James Wade is the first player through from the Main Stage to the Last 16 at the 2021 UK Open after seeing off Rob Cross in a 10-7 victory.
Wade is in the running for a third UK Open title and will move into the draw later on with a 97.5 average and three ton-plus finishes defying a 101.7 average from Cross.
Cross went 2-0 up to begin the tie but Wade had the tie levelled with a potentially pivotal 124 checkout on the bull early on with Cross sitting on 36 for a 4-2 lead.
From there, Wade gained a hold on the tie claiming four legs on the spin to make it 6-3 before Cross stopped the rot to sit at 6-4 behind at the interval.
But Wade returned to the foray and with Cross making a mess of 90, Wade was soon one away at 9-6 up.
The tie was sealed from there from 'The Machine' with a 84 checkout as he became the first player from the main stage through today.

- He looks very healthy. I doubt he can run or anything. You need carbs for that. Carbs fuel your brain also. It is the preferred energy source for the brain. Carbs get broken down into glycogen fuel for your muscles. As a rider I totally need carbs. However for a dart player who doesn't need a brain or be fit this diet is perfect.medinabello23-12-2024

- Once again Madhouse bottles it just like last year v Graf. Not sure why he's been brilliant all year. Definite similarities between this year and last though. He has to sort it out.medinabello23-12-2024
