RE: Heather Watson


So Heather finished 2021 as GB#2 with 949 points.

So in general Heather is probably seen as having a year to forget, so in some ways it's surprising that she has 3 titles amongst her counting tournaments, the joint highest amongst the Top10.  However with those tournaments coming from 2019 (2) or 2020 (1), it is a long time since she got herself into a final. She is the only player who has a tournament from the Far East amongst her counters (Fukuoka 2019), a reflection of the recent couple of years and the cancellation of much of that part of the tour.  Along with Sam, she is the only player to register less than 50% of her points from 2021 (41%). And with 44% of her points coming from Q1 2020, she is in the greatest of having a good start to 2022 to avoid dropping down the rankings.

Heather entered the WTA top 200 for the first time on 8 November 2010. She has been a constant presence ever since until, sadly, today.

That is
4,998 consecutive days
714 weeks
13 years, 8 months, 7 days

in the top 200. A mega achievement she can be proud of, although sad its come to an end for now.

Great stat, Lambda - thanks for posting.

And what a great achievement for Heather. I was thinking only recently that she seems to have been around forever - and she has been!

Brilliant stat, Lambda (and saved me checking, since I was wondering too!) and deserves a wider audience. Are you on Twitter and have you put it on there? (in which case I'll retweet it) Or if not, do you mind if I tweet it and credit you? (as "Lambda on the British tennis forum" or whatever you'd prefer to be referred to as)

I'm not on twitter. I don't mind if you tweet it and I'm not overly fussed for a name check.

Thanks, I've just added it (reworded slightly to fit within the limit and still have space to give you a mention)

Brilliant interview with Heather

Including why she might have trouble going into media in the future:

To be honest though, Im really not sure. With the media, I feel like Id get in trouble for what I say. I feel like Id get in trouble for swearing, or I dont know what. Id get in trouble all the time thats my concern.'
