Britain's Heather Watson beaten by Holland's Kiki Bertens in second round of ASB Classic The British number one, who overcame fifth seed Sorana Cirstea in the first round, converted five of 12 break-point chances in the match against an opponent ranked 14 places beneath her at 63rd in the world. Watson also struggled on second serve, winning just four points in the first and third sets combined in a match which lasted two hours and 14 minutes. The Guernsey player will remain in Auckland as she and partner Marina Erakovic are into the quarter-finals of the doubles, before heading to Hobart for her final tournament ahead of the Australian Open. The ASB Classic was reduced to only three seeded players after the second round Wednesday, in which second seed Julia Goerges was knocked out by Sweden's Johanna Larsson. Although ranked 55 places ahead of Larsson, the world number 18 was outplayed 7-5, 6-7 (1-7), 6-3 in a two-hour, 32-minute slugfest. Kazakhstan's Yaroslava Shvedova, the sixth seed, was shown the door by Russian Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-3, leaving Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, Belgian Yanina Wickmayer and Germany's Mona Barthel as the only seeds remaining. After Larsson took the first set in a 50-minute battle, she dropped the second in a tie-break before breaking Goerges midway through the third set and holding on for victory.
