Stuart Bingham in action
Stuart Bingham will play world number 37 Mark Joyce in the second round of the Australian Open.
Bingham, who famously won the event Down Under in 2012, booked his spot in the next round after cruising to a win over world number 90 Scott Donaldson in Melbourne.
The Basildon potter never gave his opponent a look in, recording a high break of 102 in the third frame, as he marched to a 5-0 win.
