Watson entered the fourth round three years ago and got a bad start when she was broken in Game 3 alone.
But this pair of former British second place triggered a good spell as she won five straight games.
Towson initially hoped that there was no answer to her opponent, but she reorganized and became stronger in the second set, ensuring another early break, this time keeping it going, despite Watson struggling to help her on her second serve.
With Wimbledon’s sultry conditions again, Watson began to lose some of her shots’ accuracy in the decisive third inning and broke with a 3-3 score.
Tauson then closed the rest of the game to block her position in the second round.
This is Towson’s first entry into Wimbledon’s second round, while Watson withdraws from the first round for the third consecutive year.
