C'mon Laura, hope she can run her close, maybe even grab a set.  |

Jolly good effort if you ask me! Eventually went down 1-6 6-2 6-3 but taking a set is a sure positive!

Especially against a top-50 experienced left-hander who is 11 years her senior  |

Very promising indeed. I think we will see that ranking of 550 something rising at a nice steady pace over the next year or so.
I still can't believe she is only 14!

Looks like Benesova had a shocking first set but got back to her more normal self in next two. Decent debut, looks like a consistant performance despite the score line  , but Benesova too strong in the 2nd and 3rd. |

Laura said on TV that "everyone had been so nice to her" (take it she meant the other players). Just wait till she starts beating the pants off them - quite soon methinks - this  will become  |

Yeah, Federer was so complimentary of Murray in the past but once Murray beat him suddenly Federer has a lot of criticism to get off his chest!  |

He he.... Human nature at it's best! Off topic a wee bit, but I've noticed the difference in Andy when he beats the like of Fed now... his head stays up... it's obviously feeling 'right' for him now, whereas a while ago it always looked as if he was faintly embarrassed by the win. Speaks volumes for him as a person.
I really hope Laura Robson can fulfil her obvious potential. I believe she will, barring injury or any other unknown entities. She seems like a very determined and focused young lady!

Yeah, I hate how he so often lets his head hang in shame after a victory, such a strange reaction.

Lack of self esteem at his core I believe. But it's defs getting better! I know it sounds daft, but a lot of Scottish people are brought up to mind and not get too above themselves.... it's our culture. I think Andy has had to battle that. And not that it's anything enforced by his parents.... just a cultural thing that exists. I may, of course, be speaking total pish! A poem by Kathleen Jamie 'The Queen of Sheba' sums up the Scottish condition nicely...
