Heather Watson wins first match in Cagnes Sur Mer, France

British teenager Heather Watson won her first round match in Cagnes Sur Mer with a 6-4 6-2 scoreline over Valeria Savinykh of Russia. Watson who has moved up 122 in the world rankings will be hoping to move further into the draw and collect some valuable ranking points before the 6 week cut off period before Wimbledon. if she can manage to break into the worlds top 110 players either this week or next then the Brit has a chance of direct entry into Wimbledon. Next up is a tough match with the experienced Italian Marie-Eleni Camerin, though it is winnable.
