British number one Laura Robson lost in the third round of the US Open third yesterday, 30 August, to China’s Li Na 6-2 7-5.

“I’m very disappointed about today. I could have played a lot better,” Robson said afterwards. “Overall I would say it was an average week but I definitely was looking to do better.”

“I didn’t have a very good start and she came out firing and didn’t give me a lot to go on in the rallies. It was a tough match for me to get into but I thought she played really, really well, very solid on the serve and return, so it was a tough one.”

Robson will now turn her attention to fully recuperating from a recent wrist injury before heading to China next month for the start of the ‘Asian swing’ of tournaments.

“I’ll rest it a little bit, let it heal completely, and then do some good training before Asia,” she said.
