Result: James Wade beats Phil Taylor at World Grand Prix© Getty ImagesPhil Taylors reign as World Grand Prix champion has come to an end after he lost 3-1 to James Wade in the quarter-finals on Friday night. By Darren Plant, Reporter Filed: Friday, October 10, 2014 at 23:39 UK Last Updated: Friday, October 10, 2014 at 23:53 UK James Wade has continued his impressive form at the World Grand Prix by beating Phil Taylor 3-1 in the quarter-finals. The left-hander hit a nine-darter on the way to defeating Robert Thornton on Wednesday evening, and while he didnt record a second perfect game, he had enough to see off the defending champion. The world number seven took the opening two sets on a deciding leg, before Taylor struck back in the third to extend the game. However, Wade won three successive legs in the fourth to secure victory to set up a semi-final clash with Gary Anderson. In a see-saw contest, Anderson saw a two-set advantage disappear as Kevin Painter hit a 152 checkout to level the match, but the Scot responded positively in the fifth to reach the last four in Dublin
