Watson can't wait

HEATHER WATSON did not hang around for the closing ceremony in Delhi.

The tennis star was anxious to make up for lost time on the tour circuit which, unlike the Commonwealth Games, carries important ranking points and she has flown to Luxembourg where tomorrow she will take part in the qualifiers for the WTA's BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open.
