Watson bows out of singles
Thursday 21st May 2009, 2:29PM BST.
HEATHER WATSON let a match point slip as she was knocked out of the Italian Open girls’ singles in Milan yesterday.
The Sarnian started slowly against American Mallory Burdette and lost the first set 6-3.
However, Watson responded brilliantly and played an excellent second set, winning it 6-1.
She began the third in similiar vein, establishing a 2-0 lead early on.
She then led 5-3 and at 5-4 she reached match point but was unable to convert it and Burdette took full advantage, going on to win the set 7-6 by virtue of winning the tiebreak 7-4.
Overall, Watson’s first-serve percentage in the first and third sets let her down and she came up with too many unforced errors for her own liking.
