Ivanovic, No2 seed and winner of the event in 2007, secured an early break to lead 2-0 but Watson immediately pulled it level, only to lose her serve again in the next game on the way to dropping the opening set.
Watson saved a couple of break points to hold serve and get herself on the board in the fifth game of the second set at 4-1 and then rallied by breaking the Serb to make it 5-3.
At 40-0 up on her own serve, the British No2 looked like moving to within a game of her opponent but she imploded with three double faults to hand the match to Ivanovic.
