Rain forces orgnaisers to move Heather Watson's match at the French Open against Stephanie Voegele back by 24 hours.

Great Britain's Heather Watson will have to wait until tomorrow to start her campaign at the French Open.

The 21-year-old had been due to face Switzerland's Stephanie Voegele later today in the opening round of the tournament.

However, the showery conditions in Paris have resulted in the organisers making some alterations to the schedule, with a backlog of matches anticipated for this evening.

As a result, Watson, who was due to play her first competitive match since recovering from glandular fever, has had her encounter moved back to Wednesday.
