The WIN Entertainment Centre was filled with 4,000 spectators, who witnessed Clayton win his first championship of 2022 after defeating Wade handily 8-1 on Saturday. Both of the previous World Series Finals champions were attempting to win their first World Series tour championships, but Clayton took an early march to build a 3-0 lead.
Wade opened his account with a signature ton-plus finish after his first maximum. However, Clayton quickly restored his three-leg advantage with a 14-darter, which he then followed with a 120 checkout to take the lead and lead the game 5-1. The Welshman didn’t let up, increasing his lead to 7-1 before securing the deal spectacularly with a magnificent 160 finish to win the £20,000 top prize.
Clayton advanced to the semifinals earlier in the day with a valiant 6-4 triumph over third seed Michael Smith, finishing with a superb 136 to guarantee his advancement. The Welshman then easily defeated Joe Cullen 7-1 to advance to Saturday’s championship match, exacting revenge for his loss to the Yorkshireman in the Cazoo Premier League semifinals in June.
Wade, who had not won a PDC championship since March 2021, was vying for his maiden trophy on Saturday and produced an excellent performance to eliminate top seed Dimitri Van den Bergh in the quarterfinal. In the semifinals, the left-hander eliminated world number one Gerwyn Price with a brutal display of combo finishing.
