Daniela Hantuchova beats Laura Robson at Wimbledon
Don’t have access to a TV? You can watch live on BBC iPlayer or read the live text commentary on the BBC.
UPDATE: Could we be on for a massive upset? Laura has taken the first set! She’s made quite a few unforced errors (19) but is still playing a better game the Hantuchova, who is looking very nervous.
UPDATE 2: Laura’s dropped the second set 6-4.
UPDATE 3: The match just ended, Laura unfortunately losing it on a double fault. Still, it was a great match, and great experience for Laura, especially since she managed to take the first set. Final score was 3-6 6-4 6-2.
Laura may be out of the women’s singles, but she could still have some success at Wimbledon this year. Next week when the juniors start she’ll be playing in the doubles tournament with Georgie stoop, so we’ll keep you up updated when that starts.


This is incredible! Laura doing SO well against a player 400 places above her in the rankings. I saw Hantuchova on Centre Court a few years back playing the great Justine Henin. It’s lovely to see Laura following in the footsteps of the greats.
