LONDON (Reuters) - Heather Watson was struck down once again by her third-round Wimbledon curse and the Briton is getting rather fed up at her inability to clear that hurdle.

Two years after coming within two points of beating eventual champion Serena Williams at the same stage, Watson was two games from reaching the second week of a grand slam for the first time but came unstuck in a 3-6 6-1 6-4 defeat by Victoria Azarenka.
