Olympic spot likely

WITH her ever-improving world ranking, it looks like Heather Watson will almost certainly be in Olympic Games action next year.

It also means that she is closing in on becoming British number two, with her counterpart Anne Keothavong dropping significantly to 108.

Meanwhile, news regarding Olympic 2012 qualification will also please the Guernseywoman.
