Garbage.

All the money the LTA have thrown at her, she fails and we (British) are happy.
She is not good enough; if she was she would have been closer by now (or won one). She is happy taking her sponsorship money.
A star? Maybe in the tabloids, but not on the court.

Laura is certainly a star in the making - a top 10 player in the near future for sure.

As for naysayers like strett,you are very uninformed.

Granted, i equally find her omnipresence and twatterings irritating but she is a kid ffs.

Robson has to improve her dire movement and mental side of the game to unlock her potential.

Top 10???

Well great. The LTA should be very pleased.
Sharapova, Williams, Hingis, Seles, Graff were all multiple slam winners younger than Robson is now.

We are all so desperate for success that we cheer on mediocrity believing it to be great; it's like the Life Of Brian but not as funny.

Also fellow professionals criticise how little training Robson does.
Are they Ill informed?

Top 10 are getting older since Sharapova's day.

Why shouldn't the LTA be pleased with a top 10 player?

No one is happy that she's lots, people are happy that she made it to fourth round.

Is your glass ever half full?

Which shows the dearth of talent coming through; it should be easier now!
