Forgot to make a post about the rankings last week so today is filling in that blank. Following her appearance at Wimbledon in both singles and doubles at in both Juniors and Ladies, Laura’s shot up the rankings table. Laura got up to a career high rank on 459 in the singles (now 464) with 74 points – this makes her now the British #11, and she’s just 12 points off Amanda Carreras, so she should be breaking into Britain’s top 10 pretty soon! In the doubles, Laura got to what was also a career high of 341 with 166 points.

Back to the Juniors, Laura is currently the world number 25 and British number 2, Heather Watson has actually overtaken her to become British number 1 having played more junior tournaments.

I’ll be updating the stats pages with updated rankings and win/loss figures since I haven’t done so for a while.

Just added over 30 images of Laura we seemed to miss over the last week. A few from the Juniors and a lot from her match against Daniela Hantuchova.

Keep checking back on Laura Robson Fans for news and updates on Laura’s next matches. The next major tournament for her is likely to be the US Open at the beginning of September, however there may well be a few smaller tournaments before that, so as soon as we know the schedule we’ll post updates here.

Laura’s match versus Quirine Lemoine of the Netherlands has started slightly earlier than I expected.

Bit of a slow start for Laura, currently down 3-0 and she’s just had the trainer on court, who gave some sort of massage treatment to her lower back. I’ll keep you updated with scores as the match progresses.

13:57 Laura just broke back, 3-1 down now and serving.
13:59 Laura’s not looking completely comfortable out there. Rubbing her lower back in between points…
14:01 Laura just about holds serve, now only 3-2 down. Laura now receiving more treatment.
14:15 Lemoine takes the first set 6-2. Laura not looking great out there, unsure if she’ll continue on in this match – for now it looks like she will though. I wonder if she’ll pull out of the doubles later on today though?

14:20 Fighting on, she’s won the first game of the second set.
14:28 Laura 2-1 up now.
14:36 Pretty gutsy effort from Laura, leading 3-2.
14:42 Both players holding their serves, Robson leading 4-3.
14:50 Same story again both girls holding serve. Can Laura now break Quirine to clinch the second set?
14:54 Quirine missed 6 serves in a row bringing Robson a break point, which she duly took. 1 set a piece now!

15:09 Both girls break each other at the start of the final set. 1-1.
15:23 Laura leading 3-2. Looking in a lot more pain again as she was in the first set. Hopefully she can hold out and win the match. Doubles match with Sloane later on today looking quite doubtful.
15:32 Lemoine just broke Robson to take back the lead from Laura, Lemoine winning 4-3 now. Laura got her first ace of the match just now but looks in a lot more pain.
15:38 Laura just saved 3 match points to stay in the game. Trailing 5-4, but can she turn the match around? Making Quirine serve for the match at least.
15:42 Laura somehow manages to break Quirine! 5-5.
15:46 Laura back in control for sure now. Winning 6-5, still in pain as well. Amazing.
15:49 6-6 and no tie breaks. This is gonna keep on going until one of them can get a 2 game lead.
15:52 Lemoine stepping up a gear, leads Laura 7-6.
15:55 And Quirine Lemoine has won the match. But what an amazing performance from Laura Robson, in pain the whole match but never gve up. Awesome effort.
Final score 6-2, 4-6, 8-6.
