Watson's Wimbledon run ends short of the quarter-finals.

Heather Watson was unable to continue the play on Centre Court after her unexpected Wimbledon run was ended short of the quarter-finals by Germany's Jule Niemeier.

German world number 97, Jule Niemeier defeats Heather Watson with 6-2,6-4. 

Britain's Watson, playing in the fourth round at a Grand Slam for the first time, fought hard, saving two match points in the 10th game, but Niemeier converted her third match point when Watson netted with a backhand.

Now Jule Niemeier will face, German world number 103rd, Tatjana Maria in the quarter-finals, for a semi-final place.
