LAURA Robson began the second week of Wimbledon looking to become the first British woman to reach the quarterfinals since 1984 but took just over 90 minutes to depart in tears yesterday. Robson, 19, awoke to newspaper stories predicting fame, riches and good odds of a future grand slam title but in a ragged, error-strewn display she was dispatched 7-6 (6), 7-5 by the big-serving 36th-ranked Estonian Kaia Kanepi who reached the quarterfinals for the second time.
Robson broke for a 5-4 lead in the first set but was loose again when serving for it and was outgunned in the tiebreak. She left the court crying tears of anger and frustration.
