James Wade vs Ricky Evans prediction
James Wade dropped just one leg in his 3-0 victory over PDC Asian Tour qualifier Ryusei Azemoto, averaging 94.75 in a typically solid display.
'The Machine' will be keen to avoid a fourth straight second-round exit at the PDC World Darts Championship, having underperformed at Alexandra Palace since reaching the semi-finals in 2022.
He should expect a tougher match here against Ricky Evans, who made quick work of Man Lok Leung in his own opener.
Wade is experienced enough to play his own game though, and will not be deterred by the pace of 'Rapid Ricky'. It's unlikely to be straightforward, but Wade's class should tell in the end.
James Wade vs Ricky Evans tip: James Wade to win
