HEATHER OVA THE MOON

HEATHER WATSON recorded her best win of the year by shocking defending champion Dominika Cibulkova at the Aegon International.

The British No.2 lost in the first round at Nottingham and Birmingham and needed a wild card to play in Eastbourne. But the Guernsey star (right) beat the world No.9 7-5 6-4 for only her secondever win over a top-10 star. “I was getting goosebumps,” said the world No.126. “The atmosphere was incredible.” Jo Konta today plays Sorana Cirstea, the Romanian who claimed she “over-reacted” by crying and getting their Fed Cup match stopped when she was abused by Ilie Nastase in April.

Wild-card Cameron Norrie won his first ATP Tour-level match by beating Horacio Zeballos 6-4 7-6.
