The last time Heather Watson reached the third round of Wimbledon, it did not go well. She was only 20 and her big day on Centre Court was over before she had even time to settle in, Agnieszka Radwanska thrashing her 6-0, 6-2. It was a clinic and after her win against Daniela Hantuchova on Wednesday, Watson admitted that she did not know how to handle the occasion against Radwanska. I remember overplaying totally and thinking she was going to be this amazing player that, you know, I’m going to have no chance against,” the British No1 said. “I tried to hit winners on the first ball. That was no good. This time around, you know, this isn’t my first, second or third Wimbledon. I’ve been here a few times now. I’ve gotten a feel for playing the top players. At the end of the day everybody’s human. Everybody’s going to make mistakes. Everybody is going to have good days and bad days.”
