2007 World Matchplay

James Wade won his first major title, defeating Terry Jenkins 18–7 in the final.

Raymond van Barneveld, who went into this event having won the first three Sky TV majors of the year (World Championship, UK Open and Las Vegas Desert Classic) saw his hopes of the clean-sweep evaporate with a quarter-final defeat to Adrian Lewis.

Both Lewis and Jenkins suffered hangovers from their victories over the two favourites as they lost their next matches - with James Wade capitalising.

Wade became the youngest winner of a PDC televised title at the age of 24 and also rose to number three in the world rankings.

Sky Sports broadcast the event live in the UK & Ireland for the 14th year running.
