2015 snooker world champion Stuart Bingham took care of Iranian Hossein Vafaei in style at the China Open 2nd round.
Snooker's 2015 world champion
Stuart Bingham took Iran's
Hossein Vafaei for a ride in the China Open 2nd round. The first match of the day was over before it really even began, Bingham running his opponent down 6-0.
Despite the whitewash-scoreline, breaks were at a premium, with the only score over 50 points being Bingham's 73-point break coming in the third round of the bout. Vafaei didn't earn himself a single stat-worthy break across the match.
All in all, a sticky affair where Bingham's years of experience shone through. Iran's finest barely had a look-in at any point in the match.
The other match in the morning was a bit more spicy, as
Neil Robertson took care of Chinese prodigy
Si Jiahui 6-2. Si's breaks across the match were 51 and 108, while Robertson knocked in 57, 89, 102 and 79.
The Aussie goes on to face the winner of
Mark Selby - Kyren Wilson in the quarter-finals tomorrow on friday. Meanwhile, Bingham's opponent comes from the pairing of
Chris Wakelin - Zhang Anda.
The final 2nd round matches of the tournament take place on Thursday's lunchtime break-offs, beginning at 12:30 UK time. Below you can find the full results and schedule of the
