Like Heather in Memphis, Laura has drawn a "Kazakh" in R1. L28: (WC) Laura Robson WR 45 v (WC) Yulia Putintseva (KAZ) WR 97 (= CH) ITF isn't working at the moment, but I know Laura beat Putintseva in Aus Open juniors in 2010, the year after Laura reached the Final there and two years before Puti...
