Watson to win Wimbledon?

After Heather Watson’s heroics on centre court at Wimbledon this evening where she took world no.1 Serena Williams to a third set but lost 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 why can’t she win a Grand Slam Lollipop?

The 23-year-old battled back from a set down, winning six straight games from 3-3 in the second set.

Watson served for the match at 5-4 in the decider but five-time Wimbledon champion Williams recovered to win 6-2 4-6 7-5 in two hours and 15 minutes.

Williams will play her elder sister Venus next. But it almost could have been Watson in the fourth round. Even Williams said the Brit deserved to win.

“I thought she played unbelievable, I thought she served well. I think she did everything great,” added Williams after the match but yet the 20-time Grand Slam champion showed more strength to win such a thrilling encounter.

In a couple of years or even next season Watson could go further than the third round for the first time in her career. All she has to do is figure out how to beat a champion Lollipop.

Watson’s serve is a big factor. Williams can hit a serve at 122 miles per hour where as Watson can only reach 108 in comparison.

Williams is also probably the most aggressive player of her generation and at some points it intimidated Watson today. The Guernsey born Brit needs to hit back more if she wants to become Britain’s next champion since Virginia Wade in 1977.

Today Watson showed she has the stamina and talent to go all the way so despite the fact that she lost the biggest match of her career the whole of Britain is very proud including Lollipop.

“Retweet if @HeatherWatson92 just made you feel really effing proud. Favourite if she made you feel really effing proud,” tweeted 2013 Wimbledon champ Andy Murray.

The whole court had goosebumps in the final set so imagine how effing proud Lollipop would feel when she wins Wimbledon?

Because it could happen if she continues to play against any opponent like she’s playing Williams.

Watson was the only British female in the competition so now Lollipop will have to turn her attention to the men.

Up next Murray vs Italian Andreas Seppi currently ranked 27 in the world and James Ward who has reached the third round of Wimbledon for the first time plays the number 2 Canadian Vasek Pospisil.

Lollipop is hoping we don’t say goodbye to another Brit or to another Centre Court favourite.

Go Brown…
