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 It
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 There
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.
