Tennis: Watson's WTA run is ended
The US Open junior champion qualified for the main draw of a WTA Tour event for the first time with wins over Ekaterina Dzehalevich and Zarina Diyas. But tenth seed Vesnina was a step too far, although Watson was not outclassed, losing 7-6 (7/4) 6-3.
The pair exchanged breaks in the opening set, with 17-year-old Watson matching her opponent until the Russian edged ahead in the tie-break.
Watson broke first in the second set but Vesnina hit straight back and broke twice more.
