Ding, on a brak o 41 and likely tae win frame aicht, ran oot o poseetion allouin Perry tae increase his lead tae 5–3, winnin the match in the next frame.[16][17] He commented afterwards that "the interval came at the right time" for him as his performance improved in the seicont hauf o the match.[17]

 
John Higgins (pictured at the event) wis ane o juist twa higher-ranked players tae win in the first roond.

Three-time Masters champion and fowert seed Mark Selby played the lowest seed, Ali Carter, in the seicont first-roond match. Carter, 17t in the Warld rankins, haed qualified for the event efter Warld nummer three Ronnie O'Sullivan haed chosen nae tae participate.[5] Carter won the openin frame, escaping frae a snooker wi a fluke shot that resulted in him potting a red ball when 8–51 behind. He an aw won frame twa, efter requirin twa snookers, an wis leadin 3–1 at the interval.[17] Selby then won three consecutive frames and teuk the lead for the first time, includin a brak o 94 in frame sax, but Carter responded bi takkin the next three frames, wi braks o 63 and 68 in the last twa, tae win the match 6–4.[17]

Robertson won the first fower frames tae lead 4–0 at the interval, an later 5–1,[18] afore Maguire teuk frame seiven wi a brak o 105.[18] During this frame, he played a shot that BBC commentator Steve Davis descrived as "the most amazing shot in the history of snooker." In attemptin tae pot a reid ball intae the tap right pocket, Maguire struck the cue ball wi sic force that the reid leapt intae the air efter hitting the back o the pocket and landed on the table. The shot haed sae much backspin that it rolled back intae the pocket; the cue ball jumped the pack o reds, hit the knuckle o the right middle pocket and went in-off in the bottom right pocket.[19] Robertson wis leadin 56–0 in frame aicht, but Maguire capitalised on missed shots tae win the frame.[20] He an aw teuk the next twa frames tae force a deciding frame.[18] Robertson gained the first chance in the feenal frame, but missed a shot on the black, allouin Maguire tae mak a brak o 62 and win the match.

Haein missed anly aicht pots during the entire match, Gilbert commented that his performance wis "probably the best [he had] ever played".[18]

Defendin champion Judd Trump met 2015 Masters champion Shaun Murphy in the first roond. Trump made three century braks in the first five frames tae lead 3–2.[21] The third o thir wis his 678th century in competitive play, muivin him intae third place in the leet o players that hae made the maist career century braks.[21] Despite Trump's strong start, Murphy teuk aw o the next fower frames tae win 6–3,[21] a scoreline that Trump later descrived as "flattering" for Murphy.[21][22] Twa-time champion John Higgins played Barry Hawkins, wi Higgins winnin the first five frames o the match. Hawkins teuk frame sax wi a century brak, afore Higgins won frame seiven tae triumph 6–1.[21][23] Seedit fowert, Higgins wis the first higher-ranked player tae win thair first-roond match and progress tae the quarter-feenals.[24]
