Guernsey mixed doubles pair Patrick Ogier and Heather Watson fought back from a set down to qualify for the second round at the Commonwealth Games.

The duo saw off Marvin Rolle and Larikah Russell 6-7 6-4 7-5 in a match lasting two hours and 36 minutes.

Ogier and Watson came back from 4-3 down in the first set to lead 6-5, but eventually lost 7-6 (0-7).

After taking the second 6-4 they dropped two match points before coming back to win 7-5.

Watson said: "It was my first time ever playing with Pat and I think we did a great job for a first time together and we just got better and better as the game went on."
