Heather Watson holds on to beat Camila Giorgi

British number one Heather Watson beats Italy's Camila Giorgi in straight sets to reach the third round at Indian Wells.

British number one Heather Watson survived a spirited comeback from Camila Giorgi to clinch a place in the third round at Indian Wells this evening.

In a closely-fought first set, the world number 43 made the most of a run of double faults from the Italian to get a break on the board at 5-5, before holding her nerve to serve out the set.

Watson appeared to be cruising to a spot in the third round as she raced to a 5-0 lead in the second set.

However, the 29th seed dug deep as the Briton served for the match, managing to find the sideline to get a game back before winning four in a row and getting the set back on serve.

Watson responded though, attacking Giorgi's serve again to give herself a fourth chance to serve for the match, and this time she saw it out to make it through to the next round.
