Heather Watson wins ITF title in Michigan

Heather Watson's impressive form continues as the British number two wins the Dow Corning Tennis Classic in Michigan, beating Russia's Ksenia Pervak in the final.

Heather Watson's impressive form continued on Sunday as the British number two won the Dow Corning Tennis Classic in Midland, USA.

Watson beat Russia's Ksenia Pervak 6-4 6-0 in the final of the ITF event, reeling off 11 straight games after falling 4-1 down in the first set.

The 21-year-old began the tournament ranked 161st in the world, but she is likely to rise around 40 places in the WTA standings following her triumph in Michigan.

Watson has now won nine consecutive singles matches since exiting the Australian Open with a 7-5 3-6 6-3 defeat to Daniela Hantuchova in the first round proper.
