Well done Miss Robson - yet again you made me smile and applaud with your playing and yet again you knocked off someone much higher than you in the rankings. Way to go young 'giant killer' 
. Lifted my spirits after seeing another valiant favourite, Heather Watson, defeated in her first round match.
Some quotes to show it's not just me waxing poetic for Laura :lol:
Virginia Wade, BBC Sport"What a first-class performance. She hit the ball so cleanly with so many winners, Kirilenko didn't really have a look-in. It was really stunning, I don't know if she can keep up that sort of quality because it was out of this world."
"It's a big scalp. Sometimes you get people who are ranked 10 in the world who are not good on a particular surface, but Kirilenko reached the quarter-finals here last year. This is a good win for Laura Robson."
Tracy Austin, BBC Sport"With Laura, you see progress. You look for the weapons in youngsters, something you can end points with and build a game around. She has those, and she has the confidence to win the big games at the Grand Slams."
