For those wondering how Laura Robson did in her first pro tournament...

I wrote a week ago that junior Wimbledon winner Laura Robson had qualified for her first pro tournament, in Limoges. She won her first round match, but retired during the first set of her second round match against 2nd seed Marina Melnikova. I don't know the reason for the retirement.

Incidentally, Melnikova went on to win the tournament when her opponent in the final retired at 1-0 in the first set.

    Laura retired in her match due to a shoulder injury. I don't know how serious/chronic it may be.
