WTA stars in Nottingham dabble in cricket, archery

Bows and arrows, and cricket bats, go well with the grass season.

Published Jun 07, 2016

As the season turns toward the green grass of England, a few British WTA players took advantage of some non-tennis activities in Nottingham.

Laura Robson tried her hand at cricket:

And Naomi Broady joined Jocelyn Rae and Anna Smith in shooting some arrows at Nottingham Castle:

The adventurous activities didn't help either player on court as Robson fell to Michelle Larcher de Brito, 6-3, 7-5 and Broady lost to Su-Wsei Heih, 6-2, 6-1 in the first round. Rae and Smith will open their doubles play against Lin Zhu and Alla Kudryavtseva.
