The British number one got off to the perfect start by breaking world number eight Radwanska in the opening game, but Radwanska broke back in the fourth.

The Pole surrendered her serve in the next game, though, and that was all Watson needed to wrap up the opener 6-4.

Watson was in trouble 4-2 down in the second but then rattled off four games in a row to seal her place in the next round.

The world number 43 is through to the last 16, where she will face either Carla Suarez-Navarro or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
