James Wade to face Mervyn King at Masters

2014 finalists James Wade and Mervyn King will meet in the first round of The Masters in Milton Keynes later this month.

Defending champion James Wade has been handed a first-round showdown with 2014 runner-up Mervyn King at The Masters later this month.

The two players served up one of the matches of the year in November when King went 9-2 ahead before being pegged back by Wade in the closing stages, and the recent update of the PDC Order of Merit after the World Championship has resulted in a re-run of last year's final.

World number one Michael van Gerwen will play Wes Newton in the last 16 in Milton Keynes, while world champion Gary Anderson has been handed a tie with Andy Hamilton.

Phil Taylor and Raymond van Barneveld will renew their rivalry if they both come through matches against Ian White and Simon Whitlock respectively.
