British number two Heather Watson went out in the first round at Wimbledon after a 3-6 6-0 12-10 defeat by German Annika Beck.

The pair resumed their rain-delayed match from Wednesday in the third set.

Watson's serve was broken twice early on but she went on to win four consecutive games to level.
