Mixed fortunes for Heather Watson and Naomi Broady in France

Heather Watson recovered from a set and 4-2 down to reach the second round of qualifying for the French Open, which starts in Paris on Sunday.

The 25-year-old from Guernsey beat Russia's Anastasiya Komardina 3-6 7-5 6-1 after two hours and 12 minutes on clay.

Watson, the world No 118, appeared to be heading for an early exit before finding her form by reeling off 11 of the final 13 games against a player ranked 54 places below her.

To qualify for the main draw this Friday, Watson will need to win two more matches, the first of which will be against Tereza Smitkova of the Czech Republic.

However, there was disappointment for another Brit, Naomi Broady, who was beaten in straight sets by Switzerland's Jil Teichmann.

Broady, the world No 121, had her serve broken three times during the second set of a match she lost 6-4 6-2.

Another Briton, Tara Moore, gets her campaign underway with a first round match against Kai-Chen Chang on Wednesday morning.

Meanwhile, at the ATP Tour's Lyon Open, Yorkshire's Kyle Edmund came from a set down to beat Thiago Monteiro of Brazil 2-6 6-4 6-1.

Edmund, whose world ranking of 50 means he goes straight into the men's draw, raced through the final set in just 30 minutes.
