Last year's beaten finalist Mark Selby eased into the last 16 of the China Open with a 5-0 whitewash of local hopeful Li Hang in Beijing.
Selby, beaten by Judd Trump in last year's decider, raced into a 4-0 lead following a clearance of 139 before clinching the most routine of first round successes.
Former champion Stephen Maguire was similarly untroubled as he cast aside Barry Hawkins 5-1.
Rory McLeod set up a first round meeting with world champion John Higgins after he breezed to a 5-0 win over Zhou Yuelong as the final two qualifiers were played today.
Jin Long was the last to clinch his place in the main draw with a 5-4 victory over Fergal O'Brien.
Jin had trailed 53-0 in the deciding frame but battled back to book a meeting with three-time winner Mark Williams tomorrow.
