Former world number two James Wade has been knocked out in the second round of the PDC World Darts Championship by Jermaine Wattimena.
Wade, a former Premier League, World Matchplay and World Grand Prix champion, lost 3-0 to Wattimena in the final match of Monday’s afternoon session at Alexandra Palace.
Englishman Wade, a four-time semi-finalist, is the first seeded player to be eliminated from the competition, receiving a bye to round two and entering as the 16th seed.
Wattimena, 36, will face either two-time world champion Peter Wright or Wesley Plaisier in the third round.
The Dutchman was the first player to have played in both days of this year’s World Championship after beating Swiss debutant Stefan Bellmont 3-0 on Sunday night.
Having lost the opening leg to Wade, Wattimena reeled off eight straight legs to win the first two sets and move within one leg of a second-round victory.
Wade hit double 20 to avoid a whitewash in the final set, but Wattimena took advantage of Wade’s missed doubles to seal the win.
Wattimena averaged 99.17 in the match, with Wade on 97.01.
Monday’s evening session includes 2021 world champion Gerwyn Price taking on Irishman Keane Barry in the second round.
There will be live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app from 18:45 GMT.
