Incredible comeback from Heather Watson. Totally changed as a player from Match Point down.. A rough day turned into an epic win!

Fantastic effort from Watson, what a fighter – she saves three match points in a row and takes the tie-break, 4-6 7-6. 2hrs 22 mins…
-
Once again the resilient qualities of the Brit shone through to give her a place in the third round of the tournament.

Brilliant, brilliant win from @HeatherWatson92 – 4-6 7-6 6-2. On Monday she told me: “I’m one of these girl that’s never going to give up.”
-
It was not such a good day for Brian Baker however, who was forced to concede during the second set with a recurrent injury.
-
Brian Baker has to retire against Sam Querrey in 2nd set. The boy has had such ill luck with injuries, hope this one not too bad

Mouthwatering: Robson v Kvitova, Venus v Sharapova, Watson v Radwanska, Keys v Kerber, Ivanovic v Jankovic. Women’s tennis, boring? #notso
