Two-time champions Mark Williams and Neil Robertson cruised into the last 16 of the Welsh Open in impressive fashion.

Williams hit three half-century breaks in a 4-1 win against Martin O'Donnell in the second-round contest, while Australian Robertson beat Hossein Vafaei by the same margin.

A long pot on a red in the fifth frame was among Welshman Williams' highlights in Llandudno.

"I thought I played alright. Conditions were tough, it was flying off the cushions," the 50-year-old told BBC Sport.

"He (O'Donnell) missed a few there, he let me off the hook a few times. But overall I thought I played alright. I had a good break in the last frame."

Williams - who won the event in 1996 and 1999 - will face 2018 runner-up Barry Hawkins in the third round after the Englishman produced breaks of 69, 72 and 52 in a 4-2 triumph over Pang Junxu.

Robertson - Welsh Open champion in 2007 and 2019 - came from a frame behind to beat Vafaei.

The Iranian came out on top in an opening frame that lasted 51 minutes, although former world champion Robertson won four consecutive frames, the second of which was on the black, to claim victory.

Having survived those early scares, Robertson showed his class in the final two frames with breaks of 100 and 118 to set-up a third-round meeting with Jak Jones.

The Welshman hit a trio of 50-plus breaks to move into round three with a 4-2 win over Scotland's Anthony McGill.
