Jermaine Wattimena survived a competitive opening round, managing to edge German debutant Dominik Gruellich 3-2 in a five-set thriller. He reached the third round last year - his joint-best run in this competition.
The Machine Gun averaged 87.28 and managed four 180s in his opening round clash. He converted 13/36 attempts at checkouts and recorded a highest checkout of 60.
The Dutchman has been in a nice run of form lately, winning eight of his last 10 matches, including reaching the semi-finals of the Players Championship finals last month.
