Well 6-0 6-1. How long did that match last? Important to know seeing as she has girls doubles in a few hours, then women's doubles (and possibly another junior game) tomorrow. She really is on fire right now!

The match took 35 minutes.

Well the decision has been made probably sensibly but still a shame no show in the doubles for Robwat.
By my calculations Laura would have had to play 3 matches tomorrow so clearly there was little choice. Shame for Heather as she only has one disappointing loss to show for her trip to Australia.

Laura is third up on show court 3 tomorrow for her only match, against Pulintseva (RUS) who is seeded 11. Robson/Peers are not playing doubles tomorrow.

expected them to pull out from dubs juniors.
putinseva will be a real test.

Pulintseva will be a test, she seems like a talented player, though I have heard negative things about her on court conduct.

Wise decision for Laura in dropping out of junior doubles, though obviously it is disappointing for Heather. Is Heather playing in Sutton? Or is she staying in Australia for the 25Ks like some of the other junior girls?

i still expect laura to come through this one, and im not too worried. when laura was her age she had already one wimbledon and final of australian open, and about 400 in senior rankings. also having a quick look at laura's opponents points, she looks to be a clay player. and just to point out, if you look at her itf picture, she is huge for her age(physically)

Robson leading 3-2 on serve in final set, closer than I thought

Breaks for 4*-2

5-2* looking at BBC robson went an early break down in the final set

Tennis36 · Masters Series Champion

6-2 robson, and I'm going back to sleep

goldfish · Futures qualifying

Bit more of a struggle but a good win against the no 11 seed.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, bit of a struggle, but well done on coming through.

3rd round : Laura vs Christina Dinu ( ROU ) : 2nd on Court 6 tomorrow

( she will finish the day with the small matter of a senior doubles quarter final on Rod Laver Arena. Last match so will be up late smile

)

No seeds left in Laura's quarter though Babos, the no 1 seed, still there in her half.
