HEATHER WATSON will return to Court 12 at Wimbledon this morning looking to regain momentum in her first-round match with Annika Beck.

Published

The British No. 2 from Guernsey convincingly took the rain-interrupted first set 6-3 but her German opponent then turned the tide dramatically, taking the second 6-0.

Beck leads 1-0 in the third and was 30-15 ahead in the second game on her serve when she slipped on the greasy surface and required a medical time-out.

Play did not resume after that as the rain came again and the players are due to resume at 11am today.
