Watson qualifies for French Open

Heather Watson has earned a place in the main draw at the French Open after she recorded a straight-sets win over Anett Kontaveit in the final qualifying round.

Watson recently returned from a shoulder injury to win in Prague earlier this month, and the Brit has continued her comeback by securing a place in the main draw at Roland Garros.

The 22-year-old made light work of her Estonian opponent and she began the one-sided contest by taking the first set 6-1 in 25 minutes.

Watson raced through the second in equally impressive style as she dropped just four points on serve to seal a 6-1 6-1 triumph.
