He will next meet Peter Wright or Ronny Huybrechts on Wedensday night with the pair doing battle in their second round match on Monday evening.

"It's going to take something amazing to beat me," said Chisnall, who is yet to make it past the third round at London's Alexandra Palace.

"I think that was the best performance I've ever had here so I know I'm in good form.

"My next opponent doesn't even enter my head. I know I can beat anyone and I'll have to to win this tournament."
