Heather Watson up for Sports Personality Award

Heather Watson , a star in the making in the tennis world is one of three nominees for the 2009 Young Sports Personality of the Year award.

The 17-year old, Guernsey born star faces competition from World Champion diver Tom Daley and World Champion track and field star Jodie Williams for Sunday's crown.

Watson became the first brit to win the girl's singles title at the US Open. She defeated fellow countrywoman Laura Robson and number two seed Yana Buchina en route to the final, a victory that has seen her nominated for the Young Sports Personality of the Year.



Former winners of this title are Andy Murray , so a win for Heather will give her a mass of confidence as she attempts to gain a palce on the WTA senior tour.

Good luck Heather, you've got my vote
