Snooker: Mark Williams needed less than half an hour today to finish off Anthony Hamilton and reach the second round of the World Championship in Sheffield.
The Welshman, winner of the title in 2000 and 2003, led 8-1 overnight and while he did not add to his tally of five half-century breaks, the two frames he required to progress came swiftly.
Hamilton had a good previous record against Williams but this time he was completely blown away, although ironically he compiled the only ton of the match with a 115 in frame five.
Williams endured a couple of years in the doldrums until capturing the most recent ranking event, the China Open, and looks to be hitting form at just the right time.
"It's an excellent start for me," said the 31-year-old from Cardiff, who will next face Mark Selby, conqueror of John Higgins.
"Anthony was by far the hardest match I could have had because of his record against me - he seems to play out of his skin every time. I never thought I could have beaten him 10-1."
In the other morning match, Hong Kong's Marco Fu took an hour and a quarter to open a 2-0 lead over Scotland's Alan McManus.
