Judd Trump booked himself a ticket to China by whitewashing Ken Doherty 5-0 in the final qualifying round for the China Open.

The Bristol player never let the 1997 world champion get a glimpse at winning as he dominated throughout.

Ricky Walden is also through after a hard fought 5-4 victory over Michael Judge, which keeps alive his hopes of winning both ranking events staged in China this season.

Dave Harold battled his way back from a 4-1 deficit to edge out Pontefract's Jimmy Michie, while little-known journeyman Rod Lawler beat Matthew Stevens 5-4 to earn his place.

Stephen Lee beat Jin Long 5-3 to end the Chinese player's hopes of an appearance on home baize, while Steve Davis succumbed 2-5 to Stuart Pettman.

There was good news for Nigel Bond, however, who claimed his first win of the season by beating Scotland's Jamie Burnett 5 - 1.
