THE PREDICTION

World number 195 Heather Watson would be ranked a lot higher here had her career-best run to the round of 16 at Wimbledon last summer not been denied ranking points but she gained revenge on her vanquisher that day with a straight-sets victory over Jule Niemeier on Monday. The draw gods have offered up a strange coincidence here as he 31-year-old now faces Niemeier’s vanquisher from the quarter-finals at SW19 last summer, Tatjana Maria, who suffered more than most when her career-best run to the semi-finals went unrewarded by the controversial points ban. 35-year-old Maria beat an ailing Shuai Zhang in straight sets on Monday but Watson will offer a much tougher test on this surface, particularly with something to prove in front of adoring home fans. Three sets seem likely here, and perhaps the shrewd way to avoid picking a winner, but back Watson to earn at least a set and leave the victor up to chance.
