Laura Robson one win away from the main draw.
by bahamaderek on Aug.28, 2009, under Laura Robson
Former Wimbledon junior champion Laura Robson, 15, caused a second upset in as many days with a 6-4 7-5 victory over Hungary’s Aniko Kapros, ranked 207 places above her in the world rankings.
Robson, ranked 460th, had on Wednesday beaten Stephanie Foretz of France, the world number 128, and the teenager now faces Eva Hrdinova of the Czech Republic, ranked 203rd, for a place in the main draw.
Robson rates the two wins as her best achievement, saying: “I had some good wins when I made the semi-finals of Shrewsbury last year but this definitely means the most to me.
“I came here just wanting to play as well as I could but getting to the final round of qualifying is obviously great and is a pretty good job by me – I’d give myself a big pat on the back.”
