China star Junhui suffers early exit

Davis said: "I believed I could win the match, of course I did. I've played Ding quite a few times and he's got the edge on me, that's for sure.
"It wasn't a particularly good game – Ding didn't play anywhere near as well as he can and fortunately for me that was the case and I managed to win a couple of frames that could've gone either way and then got over the line."
Davis' victory over Junhui set him up to face another giant-killer in round two – Scotland's Jamie Burnett.
He beat 2010 world champion Neil Robertson, 5-1.
Jamie Cope knocked out world number 14 Gould, 5-3.
Elsewhere, two-time world championship finalist Mark Selby lost 5-3 to Fergal O'Brien, and Stuart Bingham edged out Peter Ebdon, 5-4.
