Britain's Laura Robson knocked out in first round of French Open

Britain's Laura Robson fell at the first hurdle at the French Open as she lost in straight sets to Andrea Petkovic in Paris on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old, who recently recovered from wrist problems that hampered her for two years, was beaten 6-2 6-2 by Petkovic on the clay court.

Robson suffered an early double break in the first set, and despite breaking back, the Brit went a set down in just over half an hour.

After squandering three break points early in the second set, Robson lost serve and failed to recover as Petkovic broke a further two times before wrapping up the match.
