Wimbledon 2012: Heather Watson prepares to carry the flag single-handed for Britain's women at Wimbledon "There were so many people there it took us a few games to find our coaches," said Robson, who will team up again with Watson in the Olympics. The walkways were jammed, a woman needing medical attention after fainting, and the crowd leaning in to gasp and cheer and groan in equal measure. The British duo were of like mind, too, forever chatting, Robson at one point apologising for a wickedly spun serve of hers that veered off into the face of a woman and knocking her sunglasses to the ground. Robson gave her an inquiring thumbs-up as she checked her welfare from afar. In the end, ice was ordered by the umpire to quell the swelling, a bag of the frozen stuff arriving the size of which would have serviced a cocktail bar throughout the evening. If Watson were to prevail against Radwanska to become the first Brit to hit the fourth round since Sam Smith 14 years ago, then ice would be put to more celebratory use, clinking in glasses the length and breadth of the country. Watson, 20, an infectiously upbeat and charming person, with a ready smile and easy quip, shows no signs of nerves as the big occasion loomed. Quite the opposite. Her mind was set on one thing - getting some sleep. It's been fitful so far this week. "It's because it's so hot and I'm on the top floor of the house," said Watson. It's just because I'm baking. So, tonight, I'll drink some milk, eat lots of chicken and open the windows. And her opponent, mugging up to do? "I'll be watching a DVD of her previous match," said Watson. I know she's got very good hands. She's not necessarily the most powerful of the top players but she's very smart and she'll be chasing every ball. So too will Watson. She herself is not the most physically domineering yet she punches above her weight. Her service was more constant than the taller, if younger, Robson's, her power on the drive impressive. She relishes the chance to further her education against Radwanska, not that she views the encounter as one of those dreadful cop-out "learning experiences." Watson is in this for real. "I go into every match thinking I've got a shot," said Watson who drew great succour from her performance against Maria Sharapova in the US Open. That game was good for me, gave me confidence, let me know where I stood. I'm not at all nervous or worried about it. I know Radwanska is going to be willing to be out there all day but so am I. Watson will begin the day with her customary smoked eggs, salmon and toast, although Robson revealed that her partner was also partial to herring. Watson wants it all to be as normal as possible. Victory would ensure that it's anything but.
