Wimbledon 2012: Laura Robson loses to Francesca Schiavone

Laura Robson

Britain's Laura Robson put up a brave performance in her first round match at Wimbledon - but lost to the Italian Francesca Schiavone.

British number four Laura, who's 18, made a strong start, taking the first set and later saved four match points.

But Schiavone, who won the 2010 French Open, proved too tough an opponent for her in the end, winning 2-6 6-4 6-4.

On Monday, British number three Heather Watson produced a stunning display to win her first round match.

Other British hopes still in the tournament are Anne Keothavong, Elena Baltacha, James Ward and Jamie Baker; with Andy Murray beginning his campaign against Nikolay Davydenko in the third match on Centre Court.
