China’s Li Hang scored the shock of the opening day at the £625,000 event by beating four-time World Champion John Higgins 6-1. Higgins won the second frame with a break of 69 before Li reeled off five in a row with top runs of 70 and 93.

“I’ve been practising since the qualifier last month and the Haining Open last week was a good warm-up. I think I’m in form,” said Li. “I was pretty nervous during the opening frame but after the interval I was getting better. I’m pleased by the way I played in general.

“John wasn’t playing as great as he used to and I just played my normal game. I played on the professional when I was 18 and after two years I dropped off. I used to doubt myself and lost interest in snooker at that time. It’s great to have my parents supporting me all the way and I wouldn’t have achieved this without their help.”
