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.
