Andy Hamilton knocks 16-time world champion Phil Taylor out of the Dubai Masters, while Wes Newton, Adrian Lewis and Simon Whitlock also fall at the first hurdle.

Andy Hamilton has knocked 16-time world champion Phil Taylor out of the Dubai Masters.

Taylor took a 4-1 lead in the inaugural tournament's quarter-final clash, but fellow Stoke thrower Hamilton fought back to win 10-8 at the Dubai Tennis Centre.

Michael van Gerwen, who defeated Wes Newton 10-7, will now face Hamilton at the semi-final stage.

Raymond van Barneveld will meet James Wade in the other last-four match, after the pair beat Adrian Lewis and Simon Whitlock respectively.

Van Barneveld hit four ton-plus finishes as he saw off Lewis 10-6, while Wade edged a nervy encounter 10-8 against Whitlock.
