Dolan... stole the headlines with a shock 10-7 success over Van Gerwen, who becomes only the third defending champion in the 30-year history of the World Matchplay to lose in the opening round.

The defending champion and joint favourite out. The History Maker making history again...

Cool Hand Luke was firing from the starting gun...

Ratajski was in serious bother from an early point, having missed all 9 attempts at double inside the first three legs. The Asp was quick to capitalise...

Damon Heta arrived on stage in an Aussie cap, armed with a cricket bat, keen to stir emotions in the crowd...

The Dutchman will face either Jose or Luke Humphries last on Wednesday evening.
