The 2020 Masters champion Bingham will play against Shaun Murphy.

"If I play like that, people will find it hard to stop me this year," Bingham was quoted by the World Snooker Tour website.

"At 5-0 I was cruising then Kyren showed his true grit and made a fight of it," said the 46-year-old. "In the end I was lucky to get through.
