Stuart Bingham, John Higgins move into quarter-finals

World champion Bingham notched breaks of 75, 77 and 58 to beat Rod Lawler and set up a last-eight meeting with Ricky Walden.

The 39-year-old was left ruing a blown maximum opportunity in the fourth frame – albeit his run came to an end with just 49 on the scoreboard.

“I was thinking about a 147 in the fourth frame because the reds were in a good position,” said Bingham.

“I was gutted not to make it, especially as he cleared up. He’s a very good player so I’m happy to get one over on him. Ricky found a bit of form last week and I’m looking forward to playing him.”

Walden booked his quarter-final ticket with a 5-4 win over Tian Pengfei.

“It was a tense game in the end,” said Walden. “I was in control early on but then I got sloppy and let him back in.

“Tian had two good chances in the decider and I thought my tournament was over.

Higgins was a 5-3 winner over David Gilbert, with the pair exchanging centuries in high quality sixth and seventh frames.

Elsewhere, Mark King routed Martin O’Donnell 5-0 and Judd Trump beat Marco Fu 5-1. Trump hit breaks of 109, 67, 77 and 110 to stay on course for his first ranking title of the season.
