Island snooker star Darryl Hill has been knocked out of the China Open at the second-round stage.
The newly-crowned Isle of Man Under-21 Sportsman of the Year had been due to play world number one Mark Selby in the preliminary round until the latter was forced to withdraw.
Instead Hill received a bye through to the first round where he played James Wattana in the best-of-nine-frames contest.
The 19-year-old raced into a 2-0 lead against the former world number three and, despite a brief comeback by the Thai player, Hill eventually triumphed 5-3 to progress to the second round. There he faced Welsh star Dominic Dale for a place in the third round.
Dale got off to a flying start by taking the first two frames before Hill stormed back to win the next three to move into the lead.
However, the world number 36 hit back and eventually triumphed 5-3 overall to book his place in the next round.
