Heather Watson set Wimbledon's third day on fire with a victory over Daniela Hantuchova which gave her a dream third round match with the world No.1 Serena Williams.
The Sun liked all of that taking shape on one of Wimbledon's hottest days and headed up their back page with "Here's the Heather report" and declaring "She's Hot." The Sun also warned: "There's a storm called Serena coming."
Elsewhere in the Sun, Steven Howard declared: "Every woman in tennis will be attempting to become the one who stopped Serena's Slam. The female equivalent of the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. The dubious honour now falls to 23-year old Watson."
Howard suggested that Watson enjoyed the day and added: "Moving on to the Centre Court tomorrow, it will be like going from the local tennis club to the Colosseum. Christians being thrown to the lions, and all that. Well, a lioness."
In the Independent, Paul Newman said that Watson loves a big stage, especially here at Wimbledon, and yesterday earned the chance to face Williams, the perennial favourite to win every tournament she enters.
Watson has been in the third round only once before and in that match won just two games. “I tried to hit winners on the first ball," Watson recalled. “That was no good."
The Independent also reminded us of Grigor Dimitrov, who beat Murray a year ago, by saying: "Here comes the Bulgarian Express, calling at all stations to the Wimbledon final on this evidence." Kevin Garside also declared: "There is more than a whiff of Pete Sampras in this setting." So be warned.
There's a storm called Serena coming!
While Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both face duty on the Centre Court today, Andy Murray is directed to No.1 Court for what may be his only appearance there during these Championships.
He plays the Dutchman Robin Haase. "There are no great surprises with the Dutchman's Route One game, says Simon Briggs in the Daily Telegraph. "Hit through your opponent or die trying."
Murray commented: "He likes playing on the big courts. And he goes for it. That first time I played him in New York was very tough but the last time I don't think it had anything to do with the opponent.
“I was cramping after an hour and 15 minutes so I don't know how I managed to come through that match to be honest. Whoever I had played that day it would have been pretty ugly for me."
