Naomi Broady wins Montreal opener - but Heather Watson bows out

26 July 2016 02:23

Naomi Broady booked her place in the second round of the Rogers Cup with a three-set victory over Puerto Rico's Monica Puig in Montreal.

Big-serving Broady lost the first set 6-3 but bounced back strongly, winning the next two 6-4 6-2 to triumph in a contest which lasted for more than two hours.

Next up for the 26-year-old from Stockport is a match against third seed, Garbine Muguruza, of Spain.

However, there was disappointment for fellow Briton Heather Watson, who was beaten 7-5 6-3 by Australia's S amantha Stosur.
