PETER EBDON booked himself a quarter-final meeting with either Ronnie O’Sullivan or Neil Robertson as he beat Marco Fu 6-2 in the Masters at Wembley yesterday.

Ebdon came storming back after losing the opening two frames, producing some outstanding stuff to win six in a row.

Fu made a good start in a tense opening frame, taking advantage of a double kiss on a red by Ebdon to clean up.

A slow start to the second saw Ebdon make another mistake as he blocked himself from the red he needed and Fu took full advantage to move 2- 0 up.

He was looking good in the third too but then missed the brown that should have seen him go on to win and Ebdon stormed back with a break of 27 to win it.

Ebdon then scrapped his way back into the game, winning a tough safety exchange to take his first lead, 3-2, after the fifth.

After the break Ebdon looked like a different player, free in his rhythm as he piled up substantial breaks and left Fu sitting in his corner.

He was cruising towards a century in the decisive eighth frame before missing a pink, but he had already done enough to go through.

Earlier, Mark Selby breezed through to the second round with a 6-1 rout of China’s Ding Junhui.

Selby raced out to a 5-0 lead and only missed out on a whitewash as he failed to pot the frame ball in the sixth, giving Ding a consolation frame before Selby finished the job in the seventh.

Ding looked like giving Selby a good fight in a competitive opener and then opened with a break of 42 in the second, but a mistake on the blue let Selby back in and he did not look back.
