Heather’s not keen to see if she’s in top 50
HEATHER WATSON insists she will not become obsessed by her ranking as she looks to build on a promising Wimbledon campaign,
Depending on how other results play out during this week, Watson could climb into the world’s top 50 after her run to the third round, succumbing narrowly to top seed Serena Williams in three sets.
Watson will take a short break before beginning the American hard-court season in Washington at the start of next month and with many be on the high level against KKevin.”
In short, how Anderson sserves and how Djokovic rreceives holds the key to hohow the contest will play out. DjokovicDj has been calmness personifipered which may be downdow to his regular visits to a nearbynear Buddhist temple or else the fafact he has not dropped a set and took justjus an hour and a half to oust Tomic in theth last round.
For AndeAnderson, 29, he is riding the quest of a wavew but will enter uncharteredtered territterritory having never reached a Grand Slam quarter-final.
HH ii ss run at Q u e e n’s and WimbleWimbledon has merited tweets pundits tipping her for further progress, the 23-year-old said: “I never check my ranking any more. I used to try and work it out and it wouldn’t be as high as I thought it was going to be and then I was let down.
“So I’d rather not. But I want to keep climbing the ladder and just be more consistent. I’m too up and down at the moment.”
British tennis’ other main source of encouragement, James Ward, has a more immediate goal. He must pick himself up from the disappointment of losing a tight five-set match to Vasek from the golfer Ernie Els while he has also tweeted about his mother lunching with the Canadian rapper Drake last week after his visit to watch Serena Williams.
But the light-hearted social media offerings are an indication of the belief he has in his game right now, boosted by his recent victory over Wawrinka.
“I can take a lot of confidence from that and take that same sort of belief against some of the other top guys,” he said. “It gives me confidence knowing the guy I beat just won the French Open.”
It would still take an upset of some magnitude but with Queen’s at the forefront of his mind, maybe anything is possible. Pospisil on Saturday with Great Britain’s Davis Cup tie against France on the horizon. The quarter-final begins a week on Friday at Queen’s and with Ward set to break into the world’s top 100 for the first time, he is almost certain to join Andy Murray as Britain’s singles representatives.
“I don’t know exactly what my ranking will go to,” he admitted. “We’ll worry about my schedule after the Davis Cup and see where we go. I’ll have a couple of days off, then start playing again on the grass and get ready for the next big one.”
