Now all we need is to bribe her with enough perks so she will change to British nationality as she clearly likes the facilities here.   lol  If you can't beat them, import them !

That's a great win for Laura.  Let's hope she can make it to the main draw.

10 aces in 2 quick sets is pretty impressive.

When do the age restrictions on main tour tournaments end? Should be in the top 100 in 6-9 months presumably.

Is it my imagination or has Laura bulked up in the arm muscle department ?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8947827.stm

Dokic came into the match on a 15-match winning streak but Robson dominated the Australian to win in exactly an hour

British number two O'Brien negotiated a rain-hit match to see off Lesya Tsurenko of the Ukraine 6-4 3-6 6-2 on Tuesday, but Heather Watson crashed out.

Fellow Britons Alex Bogdanovic, Laura Robson and Naomi Cavaday are all still to play due to poor weather in New York.

Andy Murray, Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong are in the main draw and the trio will learn their respective opponents on Thursday.

She apparently had a bit of a strop in the second set, shouting out "I hate these socks" when she missed a shot, maybe they tripped her up.  w00t

Laura's a set up in her final qualifying match but a break down in the second.

Come on Laura, one more set!
