The action rolls on at the World Matchplay at Winter Gardens on 18-26 July 2026.
Wade and Wattimena have never crossed paths on this stage, which adds a little intrigue.
Wade comes in well set, 4 wins from his last 5. Recent form for Wattimena is mixed, 2 wins from his last 3.
Wade saw off Maik Kuivenhoven 6–4 last time out, comfortable enough without being flawless. A 6–8 loss to Krzysztof Ratajski last time will still sting for Wattimena.
Our model gives Wade a 60% chance, a meaningful edge, but Wattimena at 40% is live. Expect a proper contest.
STATS VERDICT
Wade is favoured at 60%, with Wattimena live enough to make him work.
