Wimbledon 2013: LTA claims that British players are not good enough after a dismal day for home-grown talent British women's No 2 Watson, who reached the dizzying heights of round three last year, was on Tuesday beaten in straight sets by American teenager Madison Keys, 6-3, 7-5, becoming the seventh British first-round casualty in the opening two days. In fairness to the 21-year-old, she spent two months out with glandular fever in the build-up to the French Open, the effects of which can linger for some time and she admitted after her defeat: "I feel like my game isn't back yet. I didn't have a high first-serve percentage. My reactions are slow. I'm not moving like I usually move, getting balls back. Speaking before wild-card debutant Moore's defeat to Kaia Kanepi, Watson was bullish about the state of British women's tennis. "I'd say it's not too bad," she said. We've got two players in the top 100. Watson's robust defence followed a self-confessed "rant" by Moore, who took to Twitter to hit out at critics who claim players should not pocket £23,500 for losing in the first round. Moore posted: "Try one week in our shoes and you'd see the effort we put into training and not just for the Wimbledon two weeks you guys seem to see..." The world No 194 did her best to demonstrate that desire by saving three match points in her 5-7, 7-5, 5-7 defeat on Court 17. She also fought back from 3-0 down in the decider following a lengthy time-out for an injury to her left knee, which required heavy strapping, before ultimately succumbing.
