Anne Keothavong to face Heather Watson Qatar Open

Anne Keothavong will face British compatriot Heather Watson for the first time on Sunday as they compete for a place in the main draw of the lucrative Qatar Total Open.

For British No 2 Keothavong it will be a second all-British clash in as many days after she dispatched Laura Robson 6-1 6-1 in the first round of qualifying on Saturday, while Watson defeated Poland’s Klaudia Jans-Ignacik 6-2 6-1.

Anne was born in Hackney in London, to parents who had fled from their wartorn home country of Laos in the 1970s Keothavong’s younger sister, Lena Keothavong, also played tennis on the ITF tour briefly with limited success.
