French Open 2021: British number two Cameron Norrie into second round but Heather Watson loses

Cameron Norrie was the first Briton to reach the second round at this year's French Open after beating American Bjorn Fratangelo in straight sets.

The British number two won 7-5 7-6 (7-5) 6-2 against qualifier Fratangelo and will play South African Lloyd Harris or Italian 26th seed Lorenzo Sonego next.

Earlier, compatriot Heather Watson made a first-round exit with a straight-set defeat by Kazakhstan's Zarina Diyas.

Watson - yet to progress beyond the second round in Paris - lost 6-4 7-5.

Watson's loss leaves Johanna Konta as the only Briton remaining in the women's singles draw at Roland Garros.
