Wade had picked up the £10,000 title by winning Saturday’s Players Championship at K2 and lined himself up for a memorable ProTour double by reaching the decider 24 hours later.

However, he would suffer defeat to van Gerwen for the second successive Sunday as the Dutch ace followed up last week’s World Grand Prix triumph with another victory over the world number six.

Van Gerwen had already defeated top 16 rivals Raymond van Barneveld and Peter Wright on Sunday, and enjoyed victories over James Hubbard, Gerwyn Price, Jamie Caven and Jyhan Artut on his way to the final.
