Wimbledon 2009 – Laura Robson out
Laura Robson knocked out in first round
Laura is 488 in the world rankings and her opponent was a former world number 5 ranked player and the current world number 32.
In her first appearance in the senior tournament, Laura held her own, smashing her way to a first set win, with some blistering forehands.
Unforced errors and two double faults cost her the second set (and the match).
There is a great deal to be pleased about in her performance, much of last years junior success and today’s experience will serve her well in future competitions.
Laura says the step up to the ladies competition was not that much different from her junior tournament exploits, on her performance today, I have no doubt that Wimbledon is within her reach.
