«Breaking News» Heather Watson seals place in Tournoi de Quebec semi-finals

Heather Watson booked her place in the semi-finals of the Coupe Banque Nationale with a straight-sets victory over Rebecca Marino.

The British number three needed just 72 minutes on court to seal a 6-3, 6-4 win and set up a meeting with Pauline Parmentier in the final four in Quebec.

Watson began the match strongly, breaking on her opponent's first service game to go 2-0 up.

The Canadian wildcard rallied to level the match a game later, but was broken again as the Briton edged ahead 4-2.

Watson needed just one break of serve in the second set - and did not face any break points against her own serve — to take the win on her first match point.

It is a strong comeback from the Brit, who suffered first round disappointment at the US Open last month. 

She was beaten by  Russian Ekaterina Makarova at the first hurdle, the eighth year in succession she bowed out in the round one, having negotiated the qualifying rounds, beating fellow Brit Katie Swan in the process. 

Watson has met her semi-final opponent just once before, in Osaka back in 2012.

She beat the French player 7-5, 6-3 in the quarter-finals on her way to lifting the Japan Open trophy. 

The Brit now faces Pauline Parmentier, whom she beat in 2012 on her way to her only title

Watson...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
