Watson top seed

Monday 30th November 2009, 2:29PM GMT.

HEATHER WATSON goes into this week’s Eddie Herr Junior Championships in her home-from-home of Bradenton, Florida, as the number one seed.

The Sarnian star is the highest ranked junior in the girls’ singles competition, being number three in the world.

Watson reached the finals of the Eddie Herr last year, losing to Lauren Embree (USA).

The tournament is played on her home courts at the IMG Bollettieri Academy, which should be an additional bonus for her.

Watson is also partnering Magda Linette from Poland in the doubles.
