I find James Wade quite an odd player. He's generally a one treble per visit merchant which shouldn't really be good enough to trouble the very top players these days but somehow he always seems to drag his opponent down to his level and often manages to pull off a decent finish to nick a leg he's been behind in.

If Littler is on his best form tomorrow it'll be a slaughter but I wouldn't be surprised if Wade makes it scrappy and the match ends up reasonably close.

Wade can be deceptive. Last night was Clayton’s highest average in a game at this tournament, but it did feel like he wasn’t playing as well as he had done previous.
 

Historically Wade has always been one of the biggest 140 hitters on tour and one of the best double hitters. He is averaging a ton across the whole tournament. He’s back up to 5th in the world having dropped out of the top 20 a few years back.

In this competition, in the four games he has played he has hit more 140s than his opponent in every one. His checkout percentages have been 56%, 42%, 65%, 67%.  That’s ridiculously high and as you say is how he nicks the legs. 

For comparison, Littler has been 35%, 43%, 32%, 53%.

Wade just doesn’t hit a barrage of 180s.

However if Littler turn up on his A or even B game he’ll still cruise this.
