Having had a look at her record Embree is nothing to fear but shes obviously in good form. Hopefully Heather can make it 2 in a row.

From EddieHerr.com:

" Unseeded Heather Watson (GBR) outlasted the number three seed Saturday in G18s semifinal play. By toughing out a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 semifinal victory over Zarina Diyas [3] (KAZ), Watson assured her place in Sundays final against Lauren Embree [9] (USA). No stranger to ousting seeds in long, tough matches, Watson previously achieved a close second round three-set win over the number two seed.

Commenting on her win over Diyas, Watson said, She was a great player. I just tried not to give away one point, because one point could be the difference [in the match]. Looking ahead to Sunday, she noted, I worked really hard on my fitness prior to Eddie Herr. I still have fight left in me for tomorrow.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Congratulations to both of them. I don't think too many seeds will fancy meeting Heather in the first round next week. If the seeding were done now, she would be approximately #10.
