After very nearly three hours of tennis on the hard courts in Montreal, it was Watson who eventually came out on top in the tightest of finishes 6-2, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (5).
It sets up a third-round encounter today with the brilliant Belarusian and eighth seed Victoria Azarenka, in what will be the fourth meeting between the pair.
