Australian Open Junior
Final Interview
30th January 2010
 Q. How are you feeling after that?
LAURA
ROBSON: Uhm, tired. Yeah, I still haven't finished my
anti‑doping yet. So just a bit exhausted with it,
everything.
Q. Is that really disappointing? Such a great
comeback.
LAURA ROBSON: I was a bit disappointed with the way I
played in the first set anyway. And then second set, you
know, she served really well the whole match. I was just
looking for a chance to break her. I finally got one. In
the tiebreak I let myself down a bit.
But, you know, I've had a really good month in
Australia, so I can go home pretty happy.
