Watson ruled out

ILLNESS has ruled Heather Watson out of Great Britain's Fed Cup World Group II promotion play-off against Argentina.

The Sarnian has been ordered to rest after being diagnosed with glandular fever.

'I am very disappointed not to be able to play Fed Cup. I was really looking forward to getting back with the team and competing against Argentina,' Watson said. 'I will be following avidly and supporting the team from afar.

'It's a big miss for me and I will not only be missing the tennis, but the team spirit and all the fun we have when we are together. I know the girls can win it and my thoughts will be with them.'
