Wimbledon, July 2: Women’s World No.1 Sere Williams expects home advantage for Heather Watson to help her play better in their Wimbledon third-round contest. Williams set up the clash against the Briton beating Timea Babos 6-4, 6-1 on Wednesday and believes the crowd support in Watson’s favour can even the encounter here. “It will be a huge advantage for her. The home court will probably help her a little bit. It’s going to be a great big match for us both,” Williams was quoted as saying by belfasttelegraph.co.uk on Thursday. “I’ve been used to playing against a lot of local people, doesn’t matter what country it’s in, and hopefully that experience will help me a little bit.” “I don’t know her at all. I see her around the locker room. She’s always smiling, so she seems to be super sweet. I know it’s not going to be easy for me. “She has nothing to lose. She’s going forward,” she said of the British No.1. IANS
