World number one Judd Trump began his bid for a third Masters title with a comfortable 6-1 win over fellow Englishman Barry Hawkins at Alexandra Palace.

Trump was quick to pounce on any errors made by Hawkins, the man he defeated in the UK Championship final in December.

The 35-year-old compiled breaks of 59, 60 and 56 on his way to a 5-0 lead.

Although Hawkins responded with a 70 break to get a frame on the scoreboard, Trump wrapped up victory with a break of 112 to set up a quarter-final against China’s Ding Junhui on Friday.

In the second of Tuesday’s last-16 matches, 2018 champion Mark Allen of Northern Ireland will take on Chinese debutant Si Jiahui (19:00 GMT).
