Heather Watson's run at the Thailand Open came to an end as she was beaten by China's Wang Xinyu in the quarter-finals.

The British No 6 suffered a 3-6 7-6 4-6 defeat to the seventh seed in what marked her first quarter-final appearance since making it to the semi-finals of the Birmingham Classic in June 2021.

Having dropped the first set Watson had led 4-1 in the second only for Wang to fight back, before the Brit eventually clinched it after the pair had exchanged eight breaks of serve.

Wang later broke in the seventh game of the third to pave her way to victory.

The 21-year-old gave up just two double faults to Watson's six, converted seven of 15 break points to her opponents four of nine and had a first serve win percentage of 75 to 63.
