Watson crashes

SWIZERLAND’S Stephanie Voegele swept aside Heather Watson in Memphis yesterday.

With a semi-final spot begging in the US National Indoor Championships, Watson, seeded four, crashed 6-1, 6-2 to the 22-year-old world No. 89.

It was all over in just 53 minutes with the Swiss dominating despite a vastly inferior first-serve percentage.

    Oh dear

    Looks like PB is right again, just a very very average player

    Well done for getting so far Heather and keep up the good work.

    PB – I don’t think much of your choice of adjective, I believe you are technically incorrect. Average players are not permitted to participate in the US National indoor championships.

    Well last I heard PB Falla, is that Heather is seeded at 39 which is higher than last time you said she was average.

    She is still young (20)and moving in the right direction me thinks.
