Britain's Heather Watson returned to her interrupted first-round clash at Wimbledon this afternoon to claim a 1-6 6-3 8-6 victory over Caroline Garcia.
Watson called for bad light on Monday night and the game was suspended with the sets tied at 1-1, after Britain's number one had battled back to claim the second set 6-3.
The encounter resumed under intense sunlight in South London on Tuesday, and both players appeared focused on progressing with the scores quickly zipping to 6-5 in favour of Watson.
The Briton had the chance to serve for the match, but faltered to bring Garcia back in at 6-6 in the final set.
Watson was not put off by her mistake and she soon returned to move the score back to 7-6, before making an impressive collection of shots to seal the final game without interruption and move into the second round.
The 23-year-old will now face Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova.
