Joe Perry made a winning start to his title defence with a 4-0 whitewash of Mark King, while Shaun Murphy produced a similarly emphatic performance to drub Brazil’s Victor Sarkis 4-0.
In the afternoon, a scrappy but ultimately comfortable display saw Ronnie O’Sullivan advance against Oliver Lines, as Mark Williams was made to work for his win against Michael White, fighting back from 2-0 down to beat his compatriot 4-2.
Elsewhere, John Higgins whitewashed Alexander Ursenbacher 4-0, Neil Robertson beat late call-up Andrew Higginson 4-1.
The shock of the day came as lost Stuart Bingham was eliminated 4-1 to Welshman Jackson Page.
In the evening, Judd Trump overcame a slow start to whitewash David Grace while Mark Selby beat Jamie O’Neil 4-2.
