Heather Watson beats Melinda Czink at Aegon Classic

Heather Watson has reached round two of the Aegon Classic in Birmingham by beating Hungary's Melinda Czink in straight sets.

The British number two, who recently returned to action following a lengthy absence through illness, broke her opponent once to take a tight opening set 6-4.

The 21-year-old missed the chance to serve out the match at 5-4 in the second, but it mattered little as she stormed to a 7-0 victory in the tie-break.

Watson's opponent in the next round will be Russian Alla Kudryavtseva.
