This time, it isn't. If it was 6-4 or 7-5, maybe. But 6-2 is a great disservice to Laura Robson. She didn't start well at all but played her way in, taking it to Medina Garrigues, attacking her second serve. If she is going to work her way back, that's the way she has got to go. All is not lost for Robson here."
