Good grief its all unravelling, Robson loses the second set 6-0! What happened? Her double fault count so far is at 5 so not as bad as some of her recent matches but she should be beating Hsu.

Seriously, I hope she isn't injured.

Laura fighting back from the brink...from 1-3* down in the decider to 4*-3 up

After getting back ahead sadly Robson gets broken and is now 5-4 down. I fear the worst!

More likely just being Rollercoaster Robbo - sadly.

I wonder whether she'd be best off just applying for WCs into WTA tournies for the rest of the year. Given the match she had in the USO, it doesn't seem to me as if the WR of her opponent makes a huge difference to her chance or winning.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

How many match points has she saved now ?

PaulM · Tennis legend

Gonna be a long road back but she'll get there.

That result is really pretty bad tho

Not enough, sadly. Almost tragically, it seems to me.

I did say it was 50/50, but after the 1st set, I was beginning to doubt my prediction !!
Laura has to find a way to start winning at this level on a regular basis, and make it a habit. I really hope she's not disheartened by these types of performances, because mentally it must be very tough, just got to keep at it.

Saves 3 MPs but not a 4th to go down 4-6 :(

3 DFs in one game, including 2 in a row to finish the match.

6-0 0-6 4-6. A scoreline which has "Laura match" written all over it. With, one suspects an unplayable set, a walkabout set, and a tense struggle to finish.

Seems shorter, but in fact this is her 8th tournament post return from injury.....what's the consensus from the Forum at this point?

A dreadful loss for Robson, her double fault count rocketed in the final set and there really are no excuses for losses to this type of opponent. A player whose been in the top 50 should have enough class to beat someone ranked over 300 regardless of her injury lay off. One would expect her to have problems with higher level players but should easily be winning these types of matches.
