Britain's Heather Watson spurned three match points as she lost a marathon clash with Germany's Annika Beck in the Wimbledon first round.

Watson led 10-9 and 40-0 in the decider but was unable to close out and instead it was Beck who clinched a 3-6 6-0 12-10 victory.

It is the fourth time in seven appearances at the All England Club that Watson has fallen at the first hurdle while Beck goes through to meet Aliaksandra Sasnovich in round two.
