Heather Watson is a professional tennis player who has been ranked as high as No. 38 in the WTA rankings.[1]
Watson made her professional tennis debut on the ITF Women's Circuit at The Jersey International in 2009. She has reached one Grand Slam final, winning the mixed doubles at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships. So far in her career, Watson has won ten singles titles. This total includes four WTA Tour titles and six titles on the ITF Circuit. She also has won five doubles titles and the girls' singles title at the US Open.
In 2012, Watson won her first WTA Tour titles, both in singles and doubles. With victories at the Bank of the West Classic and the Texas Tennis Open in women's doubles, as well as a singles victory at the HP Open, Watson became the first British woman to win a WTA title since Jo Durie in the 1990s. This also gave her career-high rankings in both variations of competition.
