Laura that is.....looked bloody good last night.
Reckon this girl could win a few slams,anyone else see her put poor Kim to the sword last night.
She has a brilliant serve and at 18 looks like a real good prospect.

She looks decent but I fear she is just a female Henman/Murray. Close but no cigar.

She played well last night. The couple of return winners in the first set tiebreak was a game changer.

But that would be a hell of a lot better than what we've had in Britain since i've been watching since the mid-1990s. Between Robson and Watson, I think we'll have a fair bit of interest in the female side of the draw in years to come. |

Women's game is much, much more open than the men's though- they've not had a steady #1 since Henin and they generally have four different slam winners a year, rather than rotating between Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. A Henman/Murray 'level' woman WOULD win grand slams. |

I get excited every time a new British girl breaks through in tennis. Which then turns to disappoint when I see them. Why can't we have a really fit bird for a change? |

Now Annabel Croft, there was a British tennis player I'd like to ace.

In fairness, Murray has an Olympic gold medal to his name, has played in Grand Slam finals, and could yet go on to win plenty. Not bad going really.
Fair play to Robson, that's a great win. She didn't impress me hugely in the Olympics, but she does have a great serve and at 18 has plenty of time to keep improving, so here's hoping she can achieve a lot.

This is Laura Robson you are talking about and not Linda Robson ? Jeez I'd bang her like a naughty drum |

Shamefully, if you type Laura Robson into Google, "Laura Robson Camel Toe" is the fourth suggestion.

Doesn't come up for me. Think Google has been analysing your searches and customising the selections accordingly. |

I think Laura gained a lot of confidence from the Olympic final with Murray... I doubt she will win any majors this year but given time she may prove me wrong
