World No 1 Judd Trump breezed through his opening match at the Masters with a 6-1 victory over Barry Hawkins. Seeking his third title at Alexandra Palace, Trump was in ruthless form as he punished any lapse from Hawkins on his way to a 5-0 lead.
Hawkins pulled a frame back with a break of 70, but Trump responded with 112 to take the win over the man he also beat in the UK Championship final last month. Trump will face Ding Junhui in the quarter-finals on Friday.
