Stompe romp for Woods
Related Articles
10 January 2008
Woods, seeded five places below the Dutchman, sealed a 4-2 win with some impressive form in the closing stages.
The tie was balanced at 2-2 - Stompe impressing with a maximum 170 checkout - until Woods took control to win the next two sets.
Ted Hankey also booked his place in the next round, dispatching Andy Boulton inside 48 minutes to claim a 4-1 win.
Hankey, world champion in 2000, claimed nine of the opening 11 legs to race into a 3-0 lead and closed the match out comfortably despite dropping the fourth set.
Australian Simon Whitlock beat Holland's Fabian Roosenbrand 4-1 in the day's other encounter.
Whitlock and Hankey will play each other in the last eight, while Woods' reward for toppling Stompe is a quarter-final meeting with third seed Scott Waites.
Waites was last on stage on day five and beat unseeded Remco van Eijden 4-2.
Van Eijden missed two doubles to force a deciding set at 3-2 down but his opponent did not make the same mistake and was relieved to clinch the win.
