Third seed Selby, who lost to Judd Trump in last year's final, made a clearance of 139 as he raced into a 4-0 lead before booking his place in the second round.

Former champion Stephen Maguire also claimed a routine victory as he saw off Barry Hawkins 5-1.

Graeme Dott earned a 5-2 victory over Mark King, while the in-form Stephen Lee beat Tom Ford 5-1.

The final two qualifiers were also played and Rory McLeod set up a first-round meeting with world champion John Higgins after beating Zhou Yuelong 5-0, while Jin Long defeated Fergal O'Brien 5-4.
