Career achievements
In 2012, Watson won her first WTA titles, both in singles and doubles. With doubles victories at the Bank of the West Classic and the Texas Tennis Open, as well as a singles victory at the HP Open, Watson became the first British woman to win a WTA title since Jo Durie in the 1990s. This also gave her career high rankings in both variations of competition.
