Australian Open Tennis hopes for Britain’s Laura Robson

With all of the Murray Mania going on in support of Britain’s Andy Murray who is seeking his first Tennis Grand Slam title in Melbourne, there is another Brit on the radar of making it to a final. In last year’s tournament, Laura Robson, age 16, was the losing finalist in the Girls Australian Open. Now she gets to square off against the USA’s Ester Goldfield in her Quarter Final match. Robson is a former Junior World Number One and will be looking to go one better this year, and push her very promising career forward.

She has had a busy time of things at the Australian Open, partaking in the Girls Doubles tournament as well. She and partner Sally Peers lost in the Quarter Finals though to Maria Kirilenko and Agniezska Radwanska. Robson had a great warm up for the tournament, partnering Andy Murray in the Hopman Cup event, in which they reached the final together. That was a great experience for her, playing against higher level opposition, and she performed wonderfully in beating World 26th seed Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez in her singles match in the final.
