The typically reserved 38-year-old American broke Watson six times and showed rare flashes of emotion after critical points in the two-hour affair, pumping her fist and shouting.

“But I’m definitely fired up inside.”
Next up for the seven-time grand slam champion is a showdown with Maria Sakkari of Greece, who strolled to a 6-0 6-1 win over Hungarian Timea Babos earlier in the day.
