The Telford potter now meets Ali Carter in the first round of the world ranking tournament in the Far East.

Victory in that clash would set up a meeting with either former world champion Ken Doherty or Wales' Dominic Dale, himself a wildcard round winner this morning, in the last 16.

Speaking ahead of the tournament, a confident Gunnell said: "I am really, really positive and I don't see why I can't have a big run in the next week.

"I genuinely see no reason why I can't have a long run to, say, the semi-final or something like that, in the near future."
