Heather Watson defeated by Agnieszka Radwanska in Australia

Heather Watson’s Australian Open came to an end today after a straight sets defeat at the hands of the world No.4 Agnieszka Radwanska.

The Polish fourth seed overcame the Briton with a 6-3, 6-1 win in 84 minutes on Hisense Arena.

“I thought I had a good start to the match” said British No.1 Watson. “I had chances early on to break, but I wasn't able to convert. And I think after that game that I didn't convert it kind of just slipped away a little bit.”

Despite the loss, Watson who last met Radwanska at the 2012 Wimbledon Championships, feels more confident about her performance against the top players.

“I feel like I did a lot better this time than last time, and the score doesn't really show how I felt out there. I felt like I was in it and it was a lot closer. But I felt a lot more confident this time. I felt like I could have been closer to winning that first set, and next time I'm just going to have to learn to take my opportunities and get better at that and staying mentally tough and focused throughout the whole match.”
