EASTBOURNE, England (Reuters) - Latvia's Jelena Ostapenko, playing her first match since winning the French Open, survived a tough battle at the Aegon International on Monday, winning a topsy-turvy contest against Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3 0-6 6-4.

There was a shock, though, at Eastbourne's Devonshire Park as defending champion Dominika Cibulkova suffered a second-round knockout by British player Heather Watson.
