Limp Watson crashes out of Roland Garros round 2 again

HEATHER WATSON served up a limp display as she crashed out of the French Open yesterday.

The British number two won just two service games on her way to a 6-3 6-4 defeat to Belgium’s Elise Mertens.

It was the sixth time Watson had reached the second round at Roland Garros, but she has still yet to advance any further.
