Defending champion Robert Milkins is through to the third round of the Welsh Open with a 4-1 win over Allan Taylor.
Milkins, after a scratchy 4-3 first round win over Jamie Jones, started with a superb 140 break in frame one.
Taylor hit back with a 75, before two tense frames followed by a break of 83 gave the 47-year old Bristolian a place in the last 32.
“My potting was a bit better than yesterday, but I’m still making quite a few mistakes,” said Milkins.
“I felt really good in Germany last week, probably the best I’ve felt this season.
“I’ve not really been good at all and it seems like it’s coming together, but it seems for me to get that consistency is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Because I’m getting older it’s hard.”
