Heather Watson gets the job done after eight minutes of play on Thursday

Heather Watson needed only eight minutes on Thursday to reach the third round at Wimbledon for the first time in five years with a straight sets victory over Wang Qiang.

The British No 3 saw her round two tie suspended on Wednesday night due to bad light after she had been broken while trying to serve for the match.
