Tennis star Heather Watson had her car stolen from an underground facility on Friday night whilst she was belatedly celebrating her 31st birthday. The Brit was out celebrating with her close friends when she learned that she was a victim of the crime, putting an unfortunate halt to her celebrations.

Watson turned 31 on May 19 but was unable to truly mark the occasion until later due to other commitments. However, it turned out to be a belated birthday to remember for all the wrong reasons after she returned from a meal to find that her car had been stolen.

Tweeting to her 166,000 followers, the British No 6 said: “Those days where you think things can’t get any worse… trust me they can always get worse.”

Watson then explained: “It all started last night when my car was stolen from my home – in a secure underground parking garage with CCTV and a 24 hour security man. Whilst I was finally getting to celebrate my birthday at dinner with my friends. Happy birthday to me?”

Support poured in for the world No 180, though the initial shock seemed to have passed as she joked with fans that she was now in the market for a new car and welcomed recommendations.

In response to a tweet suggesting that such high-level security measures no longer appear worthwhile, Watson responded: “An old banger is exactly what I was thinking next! Any ideas for my next car?”

A stolen motor could be the icing on the cake for Watson, who has struggled for form on the court lately.

The Guernsey-born star failed to qualify for the French Open recently, meaning that there would be no British women in the singles draw after Harriet Dart, Katie Boulter and Fran Jones all tasted defeat in qualifying as well.

Watson also lost in the qualifying rounds of the US Open and the Australian Open, though she is in a strong position to receive a wildcard to play at Wimbledon this summer.

The Brit reached the fourth round of the competition last year which will put her in good stead to be rewarded this time around.
