I love Lleyton H - used to detest him when he was a youngster as he was a proper sulky brat - he has matured - a real fighter - goes for everything - I like that in a tennis player.

Well done Laura Robson - that is an impressive win!

 

Does anyone know who she will face next?

Cheers MrsH!

The benefit of beating a top seed in the first round – you get an easier (on paper at least) opponent in the next round!

All the seeds are schduled to play unseeded players in bothe the first and second rounds. So if you've beaten a seed in your first round match then your second round match will be against another unseeded player, so theoretically it shoud be an easier match.

 

On paper all third round matches should be between seeded players. So if you are an unseeded player in the third round there is a possibility that even if you are playing a seed, it could be a lower seed than the one that you beat in the first round - but there are several possibilities here, including that the third round is the first time you meet a seed or even that you get through to the fourth round without having played a seed at all!
