Graded: incorrect. We had Heather Watson at 74%, but Shuai Zhang won 6-3 6-4. This one goes in the ledger — every miss stays on the record.

Heather Watson and Shuai Zhang meet in the match at London on Sunday. Heather Watson limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 2 wins in 10. Shuai Zhang is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (3 of the last 10).

The rivalry is dead level: 1-1 across 2 matches. On grass specifically it reads 1-0 Watson — worth more than the overall number this week.

Watson's 64.1% behind the first serve (against 59.7% for Zhang) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Anything other than a Watson win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
