London 2012: Britain's Heather Watson targets Olympic gold
Heather Watson has set herself an ambitious target of winning the singles gold medal at the London Olympics.
The British number three, currently 116th in the world, is likely to need a ranking inside the top 70 or hope for a wildcard to compete at the Games.
"If I'm playing, I'm playing to win," the 19-year-old from Guernsey told BBC Sport. "I'm going for a medal. A gold.
"An Olympics in your home country is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it's my priority for the year."
There's ambition, then there's just being daft

Ennis 'labelled "fat" by UK Athletics'
Jessica Ennis's coach has hit out at a senior UK Athletics official whom he alleges said the Olympic hopeful is fat.
Toni Minichiello, who has coached the heptathlete since she was 11, claimed an unnamed "high-ranking person" told him: "She's fat and she's got too much weight."
Ennis, who won a silver medal at last year's World Championships, is considered one of Britain's leading medal hopes.
The 26-year-old's attractive looks have made her a poster girl for London 2012, and was chosen to model the Stella McCartney-designed British Olympic kit.
Minichiello dismissed the criticism, saying it was typical of distractions to Ennis's preparations that he was trying to filter out.
"I get emails, phone calls, text messages and voicemails giving me advice on what I should be doing with Jessica Ennis that's going to make a difference," he told The Guardian. "It's a lot of background noise that you can get easily distracted by.
"I always read it and have a look and think maybe there is something there. Yes, it might be a great idea, but it's not a great idea for today, it's a great idea for next year. I've never had any issue with her weight or shape. There are times I've wished she was taller, but that's it."
Minichiello conceded Ennis's celebrity status represented another distraction.
"The difference is that she's now a 'personality'," he said. "If she walks into the dining room, people will go 'Ooh, that's Jessica Ennis from athletics.'
"Equally, she'd turn round and go 'Wow, that's David Beckham on the Great Britain football team.' So there's lots of distractions."
UK Athletics declined to speak to the Guardian on Thursday night.

Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

London 2012: Craig Bellamy set to feature for Team GB
Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy says he has been included in the Team GB squad for the Olympics.
Coach Stuart Pearce is allowed to name three players over the age of 23 in his 18-man squad - and Wales international Bellamy, 32, has been widely quoted claiming he has been included.
"I am in the Olympic squad but I was supposed to keep it quiet," he said.
"It's a different challenge. I had a difficult season with Liverpool but the Olympics is a one-off."
Pearce is expected to name his squad for the games later in June.
Former England captain David Beckham, 37, has made no secret of his desire to be included and Manchester United will allow former Wales skipper Ryan Giggs, 38, to feature.
England international Joe Cole, Scotland striker Steven Fletcher and Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt have also been touted as potential over-age players.
Team GB's first fixture is against Senegal at Old Trafford on 26 July.
