Heather Watson for Alpro

Tennis pro Heather Watson has partnered with plant-based food company Alpro to lead the brand's 'Team PB', an 'all-star athlete line up' aiming to inspire the UK to eat more vegan foods by 'attempting a number of fitness-based challenges'.

The world No. 72 Heather Watson spread out six cartons of Alpro's "Soya" plant-based milk beverage across the court and gave herself ten tennis balls. The goal of this challenge is pretty simple, using the ten balls players should try to knock down as many of the drinks with their serve.

The former British number one posted a video of her own 'Alpro PB challenge' to her Instagram account, in which she attempted to hit Alpro products whilst serving from the tennis court base line, captioned: 'I’ve been fuelling with plant protein from @alpro Soya Light and this challenge relies on both accuracy and form to place each shot, as well upper body muscle strength, so getting enough quality protein is key to staying sharp and on my game'.

All in all, the 29-year-old Heather Watson managed to knock down four of the six before handing the challenge off to a couple of friends and inviting fans to also partake in the social challenge. Along with Alpro's "Soya" beverage, the brand also makes ice cream, plant-based creamer, lattes and treats for kids. This challenge is not only great physical exercise, but it looks delicious as well. Things on the match court are not going as smooth as the Alpro challenge did for Watson. On Tuesday at the Tenerife Ladies Open, Watson lost to a tough Clara Tauson in a three-set opening round battle. She also fell to Sloane Stephens in the first-round at the BNP Paribas Open.
