Watson makes progress at French Open

Watson makes progress at French Open

Heather Watson has become the first British woman since 1994 to win a first-round match at the French Open.

The 19-year-old tennis star beat France's Stephanie Foretz Gacon 7-6, 6-1 in the first round, and will soon move into the top 100 players in the world for the first time.

"So happy!!!" she tweeted later. "Started a bit flat but toughed it out when I needed to in that first set."
