Emma Raducanu can pull off the biggest upset of her career
It's pretty much ten years to the day that Wimbledon's Centre Court almost witnessed one of the biggest upsets in the Open Era. The Friday Night Thriller, as it was dubbed at the time, had Wimbledon's main showcourt rocking.
Britain's Heather Watson came within a whisker of knocking out world No.1 Serena Williams. And the American was furious with how the rowdy Centre Court crowd were willing her to lose.
Every Watson winner brought the 15,000 capacity area to it's feet. Every Williams winner led to groans. It made Watson a household name in the UK. It made Williams the No.1 villian.
At one moment in the match, which took place on the Friday night of July 3, 2015, Williams continuously asked the umpire to tame the spectators. When that didn't work she took matters into her own hands, wagging her finger and telling the crowd "don't try me."
The multiple Grand Slam champion, who went on to win the title, was completely rattled. The ultimate headloss. Watson served for the match at 5-4 in the deciding set, she fought valiantly and came incredibly close. But Williams ultimately progressed with a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 victory in two hours and 15 minutes.
