Heather Watson disappointed with Wimbledon exit

Heather Watson admits that she was "disappointed" with the manner of her exit at Wimbledon as she missed out on the chance to beat world number one Serena Williams.

Heather Watson has conceded that she was extremely disappointed with her third-round exit at Wimbledon against world number one Serena Williams.

The 23-year-old held a 3-0 lead in the deciding set against the American and then had the chance to serve for the match at 5-4, but Williams rallied to clinch her place in the round of 16 by taking the set 7-5.

Watson told reporters: "I was two points away from winning that match so I am pretty disappointed. The atmosphere was fantastic and pushed me on, but I just wished I could have closed it out.

"I wouldn't call losing the greatest day of my career. I am pleased that I gave myself the chance to play the best in the world and gave myself the opportunity to beat her. I didn't take it, but I hope the experience will help me next time."

Watson equalled her best performance at a Grand Slam at Wimbledon this year.
