I was browsing the web when I came across an article on her. I'm not sure if everyone will remember Laura, but she was a fairly promising prospect back in 2005/2006 - she won a 10K soon after she turned 17 - but she prioritised her education and went off to study at Harvard in the States. Anyway, she has/will be graduating this summer and here is a recent interview with her on her Harvard experiences:
Laura seemed to be the more talented of the two (her sister Claire gave it a go for longer, and reached around 400, but Laura had more impressive results at a younger age) but only a small percentage of those attending American universities return to play ITF events, and I don't see Laura, with the earning power of a Harvard graduate, being tempted.
True it is highly unlikely since she has probably already been snapped up into a high powered career, but part of my still hopes that she plays a tournament or two just for fun for old times sake as she did seem to have the potential to break into the top 300+
I remember watching Laura play in the 10k in wrexham which she won. I really liked her game, she could hit the ball quite big but not massive. Saw her take Mel South apart by rallying with Mel and then out manovering her with a great backhand down the line.
Would be good to see both Peterzan sisters back, i realy enjoyed watching them play, they gave their all during matches.
