She is playing here instead of in Teen Tennis. You have to admire this sort of professionalism.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Well she seems to be beating a lot of juniors ranked much higher so i think its the right choice for her progression. I think one more win will get her top 150.

Simon · Lower Club Player

Laura is producing the results again.

Fantastic. Such great results for a nipper.

Ratty · County player

I don't mean to be rude or anything, and Laura Robson is clearly the best Brit female prospect in many years, but why all the stuff about how young she is?

Haven't you noticed the elementary biology that most girls have almost or completely stopped growing by the age of 14?

And that the average age for current top 100 players to get inside the top 1000 WTA is 15?

Well being the top ranked 1994 born in the world by 182 places, a number which is sure to increase after this week, I think it is fair to say she is doing well for her age.

Mervatron · Masters Series Champion

Yes this week should see her rise to 138ish. Even by world standards thats great. And Laura has just turned 14, meaning shes only just eligible to play WTA/ITF senior events.

She'll more than likley be ranked inside thew top 1000 by the end of the year if she decides to play senior events.
