Watson Seeking Consistency

Watson has had an up and down year throughout 2021, with a mix of impressive and disappointing results.

Heather Watson failed to capitalise on her deepest run of the year, where she reached the semi-finals of Birmingham, seeing off Golubic, Zhang, and Vekic before losing to eventual champion Ons Jabeur 6-3 6-3. After this Watson suffered a number of first round defeats, failing to win a match on the WTA circuit from the 19th of June until the 7th of August, overcoming Sebov in Montreal qualifying in straight sets 6-0 6-3.

The Brit arrives in New York currently ranked 62nd, with an 11-17 Win/Loss ratio for the year which is a statistic she will be looking to improve. Her opening tie against Juvan is certainly winnable, however, mental battles appear to be the biggest issue for Watson.

If she is able to overcome Juvan, she will face-off against either Collins of Suarez Navarro in round 2.
