Agnieszka Radwanska has ended British hope in the women's singles after a straight sets victory over Heather Watson on Centre Court at Wimbledon on Friday. Speaking after her match Watson said: "She's No.3 in the world for a reason. She didn't miss. But I'm fine, it's a great learning experience for me. I've learnt a lot today and I'm going to come back stronger and improve from this."
Meanwhile in the next round Andy Murray plays the Cypriot, Marcos Baghdatis, a former Grand Slam finalist, a former doubles partner of Murrays and someone who is coached by Murray's former coach Miles Maclagan.
On playing him the British No.1 said: "I'm sure there will be a lot more longer rallies against Marcos and there won't be periods in the match where I can't get into his service games or I'm not touching the ball. It will be a different kind of match."
The Junior Championships at Wimbledon are also set to get underway tomorrow and sees 11 British boys and 6 British girls in the line-up of the singles draws.
