Wimbledon: Heather Watson celebrates 'emotional' win over Tamara Korpatsch

Britain's Heather Watson celebrated an emotional victory at Wimbledon as she returned to beat Tamara Korpatsch following a "disaster" last year.

The British number four, 30, was clinical on the resumption on Court One on Tuesday, winning 6-7 (7-9) 7-5 6-2.

Last year, on the same court at SW19, Watson missed a match point as she fell to lucky loser Kristie Ahn.

She became tearful during her on-court interview after beating Korpatsch, saying: "I had a bit of a disaster match last year on this court, losing with match point, so I really wanted to turn it around and get a win this year.
