Two-time winner James Wade has drawn debutant Martin Lukeman while Masters champion Joe Cullen takes on Australia’s number one Damon Heta, with both ties being a repeat of the first round of this year’s World Matchplay.
World number six Jose de Sousa meets 2010 finalist Adrian Lewis, eighth seed Rob Cross meets 2017 champion Daryl Gurney and Dimitri Van den Bergh meets two-time finalist Dave Chisnall, the newly crowned Belgian Darts Open champion .
UK Open champion Danny Noppert meets German number one Gabriel Clemens, while four-time European Tour title winner Luke Humphries meets 2019 semi-finalist Chris Dobey.
