'I wasn't feeling my best physically but after that first set I started to feel a lot better and more in the match and I definitely had my opportunities early in that third set but wasn't able to take them,' Watson said.
Later she suffered a similar fate with her Great Britain teammate Johanna Konta against third seeds Hao-Ching and Yung-Jan Chan of Chinese Taipei in the doubles 3-6, 6-0, 6-4.
