Heather Watson has defended an under-fire poll organised by the Women's Tennis Association to rate the best outfits worn at Wimbledon.

The WTA has faced criticism over the feature on its website, which allows readers to review nine outfits and choose a favourite. Watson's own tennis dress is among the outfits. Women In Sport, the organisation which aims to push forward gender equality, has criticised the WTA poll.

However, British number two Watson said: "I think the poll's fun. I never win it, but I love it. I like to look good on the court, I love the clothes that I wear. I love my Wimbledon dress and I saw there was a poll for the outfits this year and I think it's great." Watson added: "I'm always looking at what the other girls are wearing and it's good to see what other people think as well."
