Wimbledon
Junior 2nd Round Interview
29th June 2010
Q.
First set was very straightforward. Second one was a bit of a test,
wasn't it?
LAURA ROBSON: Yeah. I think it's always hard to keep up that kind of
level that I was playing in the first set. I think I only lost eight
points. It was always going to be tougher in the second set. I think she
loosened up, made a lot more balls.
You know, she played much better tennis. So it was good to get through
that.
