World number one Neil Robertson advanced to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for the first time with a 5-3 win over Jamie Cope.
Robertson, 31, had never previously progressed beyond the last 16 in two attempts but hit three breaks over 80 to ease past the world number 40.
The Australian will play either Stuart Bingham or Joe Perry in the next round.
Elsewhere, Dominic Dale moved into the last eight with a 5-2 victory over Fergal O'Brien.
