Heather Watson is through to the third round at Wimbledon for the third time in her career after upsetting 18th seed Anastasija Sevastova in straight sets.

The Guernsey star won 6-0 6-4 in a little over an hour to equal her best ever run at the Championships.

She raced through the first set taking it off the Latvian in just nineteen minutes on No.2 Court.

Watson double faulted at break point down in game three of the second set, but eventually recovered to take it 6-4 and seal a place in the next round.

She will face either No.15 seed Elena Vesnina or former world number one Victoria Azarenka in round three.
