HEATHER WATSON has risen to fame through showing her impressive tennis skills.
The star has returned to the Wimbledon courts for 2025 – and there is one particular face she’ll want to make proud.
Who is Heather Watson?
Heather Watson is a British tennis player who was born on May 19, 1992.
She was born in Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands.
Heather, who has a brother called Adam and two sisters, called Stephanie and Julie, began playing tennis when she was just seven years old.
She attended the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida.
Heather has gone on to win nine titles throughout the course of her career, including the mixed-doubles title at the 2016 Wimbledon Championships with partner Henri Kontinen.
She is ranked the women’s British number six, according to the Lawn Tennis Association, the national governing body of tennis in Great Britain.
Watson has also represented Team GB at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games.
Heather was one of a number of athletes who welcomed Wimbledon’s 2023 move to allow female players to wear coloured shorts.
The annual tournament relaxed its strict all-white dress code due to concerns raised by stars about playing while on their period.
“When Wimbledon announced about the undershorts I was so happy because it makes such a difference,” she told Sky News.
“I speak openly about my period, I don’t think it’s a taboo subject and I would love for people to talk about it more.
“Last year I went on the pill to stop myself bleeding because I knew I had to wear white undershorts and I didn’t want any embarrassment.
“We’re running around sweating, doing the splits on court. This year I knew my period was going to be during Wimbledon again so I’m very happy I won’t have to do the same thing as last year.”

Heather is not married but is in a relationship with Shaun Rooney.
The pair are thought to have got together in 2023 and the tennis player often posts the footballer on her social media.
She was last in a relationship with Yeovil Town and Morecambe football player Courtney Duffus.

Before that, Heather was in a relationship with fellow tennis player Lloyd Glasspool.
