Birmingham Gallery: Gorillas & Bracelets

The WTA stars have been shining off of the court in Birmingham, including Tamira Paszek judging best dressed window displays and Heather Watson visiting a very special charity. Check it out!

Heather Watson is among many WTA stars taking the time for off-court work during the Aegon Classic.

Help Harry Help Others is a charity where children make bracelets to help people dealing with cancer.
04 /12
Watson enjoyed guests in her classes as a kid, and enjoyed being the guest herself this time.
05 /12
Last fall in Osaka, Japan, Watson edged Chang Kai-Chen in the final to win her first WTA title.

She was the first Brit to win a WTA title in 24 years, since Sara Gomer won Aptos in 1988.
07 /12
Elsewhere, Tamira Paszek was helping judge the best window dressings for stores over in Harborne.
08 /12
One of Paszek's stops was at Maddison Avenue - throughout the trip she posed for photos at the shops.
09 /12
Paszek is back to what is probably her favorite surface now - she has serious grass court credentials.
10 /12
Paszek not only captured her first Premier-level title on the lawns of Eastbourne a year ago...
11 /12
Both her Grand Slam quarterfinals have come at Wimbledon, and in the last two years - 2011 and 2012.

Thanks to 'the little guy with the umpire hat', Maddison Avenue ended up winning the competition.
