However, Watson then found her form and did not lose another game as she won 11 in succession to take the match 6-4, 6-0 at the Midland Community Tennis Center.
Watson made it a double when she and Anna Tatishvili joined forces to win the doubles title by beating Sharon Fichman and Maria Sanchez 7-5, 5-7, 10-6 in a tight final.
The Guernsey star has risen 39 places to 122nd in today's new world rankings list.
