Robson's Run Ended

Unfortunately from a British perspective, Laura Robson was beaten in the final of Guangzhou 63 57 64 by Hseih Su Wei. Laura fought gamely to stay in the match, recovering from 36 35 down and 5 match points in the 2nd set, to lead 3-0 in the 3rd. However, a lack of experience combined with a lack of energy saw Robson's bid to become the 1st British woman to win a WTA title in 22 years, come to an end. Robson was full of praise for her unorthodox opponent who, as predicted, mixed up the rhythm and kept Laura guessing. Next time Laura!

Robson Into Final

From a British perspective, this is a landmark week for Laura Robson as she's made the Guangzhou final. In beating Sorana Cirstea 64 63, Robson has become the 1st British woman to reach a WTA final since Jo Durie in Newport, 1990. If she can beat Hseih Su Wei in the final, she'll become the 1st to win a title since Sara Gomer at Aptos, 1988! Come on Laura!
