Watson, ranked 79th in the world, won the opening set against the Hungarian in a tie-break.

But her nerve failed her late on in both the next two sets as world number 60 Babos won 6-7(4) 7-5 7-5.

Both players earned plenty of chances, but ultimately it was Watson's serving which let her down most: she got just 57% of her first serves in.
