US Open 2011 Featured Player: Laura Robson


There hasn't been much of a British impact on women's tennis lately but it doesn't mean there are no upcoming British female players in the pipeline.  Meet 17-year old Laura Robson, currently ranked #173. 

She reached the second round of the US Open 2011.  She had to qualify to reach the main draw.  She drew Ayumi Morita of Japan (#47) where she won 76(5) 10 Ret.  She lost in the second round though to veteran Anabel Medina Garrigues of Spain (#33) 26 36.

Her ranking has now moved up to #146 after this Grand Slam, her highest ranking as of yet.
