Carla Suarez Navarro ends Heather Watson run

Suarez Navarro ends Watson run

Heather Watson's run at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells has come to an end after the British number one was beaten 7-6 3-6 6-1 by Carla Suarez Navarro in the fourth round this evening.

The Spaniard had to come from a break down in the first set, but had the momentum going into the tie-break, and managed to edge ahead.

Watson responded well though, getting another early break on the board in the second as Suarez Navarro struggled with her returns, while a string of unforced errors allowed the Briton to level the match.

With the match heading into a third hour, Watson appeared to tire early in the third, leaving the world number 13 to surge ahead, taking five games in a row to seal the victory.

The 12th seed will face the winner of the match between Simona Halep and Karolina Pliskova in the last eight.
