After losing to Sloane Stephens, who later went on to win the tournament in Milan last week, Laura will be happy to start a new tournament today, and that is no less than the French Open Juniors.

Laura, who is once again seeded number 1 starts her campaign facing Karina Pimkina of Russia later today. We’ll keep you updated with the status of her progress through the competition, all the results will be right here on LRF.

UPDATE: Well, Laura is safely through to the second round, though she did cause us a bit of scare early on, losing the first set 6-2. She managed to bounce back though, winning the next two sets 6-3 6-3 to secure her place in the next round. As you can see from the match summary, all in all it was a pretty even game, but Laura obviously had the extra spark to finish the game off.
