Judd Trump produced a dominant display to thrash Pang Junxu 6-1 in the first round of the UK Championship in York.
England’s Trump signalled his intent with a wonderful break of 114 in the opening frame.
While a half century briefly helped China’s Pang draw level, the world number two then went through the gears with runs of 124, 68 and 50 as he completed his victory.
Trump will meet Jack Lisowski or Jamie Jones next.
Lisowski and Jones, and Mark Selby and Mark Joyce all play later on Monday at 19:00 GMT.
Trump, 34, arrived at the Barbican as the form player of the season, having already won the English Open, Wuhan Open and Northern Ireland Open to take his tally of ranking titles to 26.
Unsurprisingly, he was also an overwhelming favourite to defeat Pang, 23, who is yet to win or break inside the top 30 in the world rankings.
And while Pang struggled to convert several openings into frame-winning contributions, Trump was able to go through his full repertoire of attacking shots, with a short delay due to a member of the public falling ill in the auditorium doing little to disrupt his rhythm.
A superb exhibition shot playing off two cushions to pot the yellow into the top corner pocket on his way to a century in the fourth frame was arguably the highlight of the day and underlined his status as the man to beat this week.
