Fu, who almost made it to the final of the UK Championship this month, trounced Mark Davis 5-1 in Glasgow.

Fu, had a poor start to the season before hitting a rich vein of form at the UK Championships and has been even better this week.

“I expected a tough match tonight, especially after Mark made a century [to win] the first frame,” Fu told worldsnooker.com.

“I just had to wait for my chances to get among the balls and score heavily, because that’s what I have been doing this week.

“I was really struggling going into the UK in York but then I found some form towards the end. I was able to bring that into the German Masters qualifiers last week and then kept it going in this tournament.
