I just think we’re such a good pair. I felt like in a way I was playing like a serve-bot type thing,” said Watson.

It was a flat first set from Watson, who was broken twice and swatted the net in frustration after missing a simple volley to bring up set point. Two more double faults in her next service game spelled the end for Watson as Niemeier wrapped up victory in an hour and 17 minutes. Niemeier, 22, may be unseeded but she beat number two seed Anett Kontaveit in the second round, and illustrated her quality with a stunning winner from the baseline as she chased down a Watson lob.

Germany's Jule Niemeier beat Heather Watson, the British No 2, 6-2, 6-4 while Tatjana Maria saved match points in her win over Jelena Ostapenko.

It’s why I came back after the second one. I felt like I was always reacting to her ball. That’s why I came back after the first one. I actually was thinking at the end of the first set, trying to think of unforced errors she’d hit, and I could only think of two. The British No 4 appeared briefly back in control as she broke at the start of the second set to lead 2-0, but that proved illusory as a weak service game allowed Niemeier to break back. “I’ve had so many falls,” she said, pointing to her legs.

Watson struggled to make an impression on the German's serve as she was beaten in the last 16 on Centre Court.

Watson was unable to match the strength of the Niemeier forehand and a backhand lob from the German set up the double break. Niemeier had the serve that Watson lacked to get her out of difficulty and the second serve problems continued as she made two costly double faults for Niemeier to break and lead 4-3. Niemeier was another unheralded opponent for this stage of a major but with the youngster having nothing to lose, she would prove to be dangerous. Still, it left a daunting task and stage for Watson and Niemeien, on her Centre Court debut, to emerge onto. Watson’s performance was littered with errors and her second serve proved to be a fatal weakness during the match, winning just four of the 15 points she faced and committing four double faults. Niemeier, the world No 97, had upset the second seed Anett Kontaveit early in the tournament and will face another German, Tatjana Maria, for a place in the semi-finals.
