Laura Robson plays down injury concerns

Laura Robson reveals that she pulled out of a Canadian ITF match on Tuesday due to a stomach strain, not because of a recurrence of a wrist injury.

Laura Robson has played down concern over an injury that has forced her to withdraw from an ITF event in Canada.

The former British number one recently returned from a prolonged absence that was caused by a wrist injury, with the left-hander securing her first win since her comeback in Granby last week.

However, the 21-year-old was forced to bring an abrupt halt to her first-round match on Tuesday when trailing 5-1 to Barbora Stefkova, leading to fears that she had sustained another problem with her wrist.

The problem has been played down, though, with the Olympic silver medallist revealing that she suffered a stomach strain during the warm-up.


Robson will aim to recover in time for the US Open, which begins in New York on August 31.
