Lemoine squeezes out Laura
1st July 2009
Laura Robson's defence of her girls singles title ended in the third round as the unseeded Quirine Lemoine of the Netherlands won a hard-fought victory 6-2, 4-6, 8-6.

Robson struggled throughout the match with a niggling back injury that required the attention of the physiotherapist after just three games, but still put on a spirited display in front of an animated home crowd.

“We don’t know exactly what the problem is yet but hopefully we will find out in the next couple of days, it was a bit of a spasm but I expect it will get better,” admitted Robson.

Laura's Wimbledon doubles campaign over
26th June 2009
Laura RobsonIt was a tough assignment against the #16 seeds Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia and Amelie Mauresmo of France who have a combined total of 4 Grand Slam singles titles.  Laura and Georgie Stoop were knocked out of the doubles event at Wimbledon after they lost 3-6 4-6 in the 2nd round in 65 minutes.

The 16th seeds took the first set on their third set point in front of a packed Court 12 but the British pair hit back in the second set.  They broke Kuznetsova in the second game and opened up a 3-0 lead before being pegged back to 3-3.

Stay tuned for the juniors draw which will be released later on today.
Laura and Stoop get the win in doubles
24th June 2009
Laura RobsonThere was drama on Court 1 in Laura's 1st round doubles match in the evening.  The match went right down to the wire but Laura and Georgie Stoop came through as they defeated the British duo of Jade Curtis and Anna Smith 6-4 3-6 13-11 in 3 hours and 1 minute.  The 3rd set alone took 1 hour and 46 minutes. 

Along the way to 13-11 in the final set, there were match points for Laura and Stoop in the 12th and 14th games. Curtis served for the match in the 20th after Laura lost her service to love. Laura immediately redeemed herself with a demon forehand down the line, followed up by a two-handed backhand volley at the net to help win the break-back to level the match.

In the 24th game, Curtis/Smith saved another match point, before a lucky net cord from the baseline created another. Realising the enormity of the timing, Stoop apologised not only to her opponents, but to the crowd. She then made an excellent intercept for the victory.

In the 2nd round, Laura and Stoop have tough draw as they will face the #16 seeds Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia and Amelie Mauresmo of France.
