Not convinced she has the guts.

Ridiculous comment.

Not really. Never beaten anyone in the top 5.

That's normally a measure of talent and strength/power. I'm talking about guts.

Are you actually watching the match?

There's a difference between not having the guts and not being good enough.

She's playing out of her skin today.

An ace at break point!! What ranking is Heather?

[MarkRSi]

Arse

[johnfm]

If she keeps hitting it deep she will win.

If she keeps hitting half court balls she will lose.

She clearly has the game. Just can't close it out. Yet.

Jesus this is stressful !

Yes. She clearly has the game. Which is why it boils down to the mental aspect - like most sports the slim differences are often mental.

I want her to win. A lot.

She doesn't seem to be able to close it out.

That is possible but Serena shows why she is champion at those points aswell

Thank you, bit of a difference then!

[hornetrider]

What a match, fair play to Heather she pushed her every inch of the way.

[Mermaid]

So sad, better 1st serves and she will be a winner

[mcelliott]

Gutsy display by Heather, but brilliant by Serena. Well done both.

[ajprice]

Heather Watson did better than I expected by a long way. Pushing Serena like that was really good going.

[johnfm]

Good effort from Watson. Plucky. Gutsy. Etc etc.

But she had that match in her hand. And sadly let it slip.

Note the totally classless Williams walks past the fans who pay her prize money. The Brit shows how it is done.
