Rydz wasted no time and he is yet to drop a set in this year's tournament as he made light work of the tenth seed with a 98.3 average and seven 180's and he will return tomorrow for a place in the New Years Day line-up.
Rydz produced a superb start to proceedings with a 90 checkout en route to the opening set.
He breezed through the next two sets to make it nine in a row in this year’s World Championship with Aspinall having no answer to the prowess of ‘The Riot’.
He went 2-1 up in the next set but Aspinall sent it all the way to a decider only for Rydz to have the throw though.
He began the pivotal leg with a 180 as Aspinall looked for a break to avoid being whitewashed but a 140 which followed saw Rydz looking for a finish after nine which he claimed in a 149 set up shot to leave 32 which he sealed first time.
