Virginia Wade is concerned by the Media attention and expectations suddenly attracted by Laura after her fantastic Junior Wimbledon Title win
But Wade admits Robson has made a stunning start to her career and says there is no reason why she cannot be challenging for honours in the future.
“I’m really proud of her for what she did on Saturday and I do think she’s got what it takes,” said Wade.
“She’s got a very instinctive natural game, she moves well, she serves well and above all her concentration and her head seem to be excellent.
“You don’t know whether a great player is going to pop up at the same time, but it’d be nice for us if we had someone in contention some of the time.
Carl Maes, head of women’s tennis at the LTA, says the coverage of Robson has been “scary”.
“This media expectation is going to be pretty daunting and her entourage I think are going to protect her,” Maes told Sportweek.
Will the media forget she is only 14 years old?
