Robson goes from Tennis Channel to hip surgery

Published Jul 06, 2018

Tennis Channel continued its tradition of giving injured players a chance to test their broadcast chops. At Wimbledon this week it was Great Britain's Laura Robson taking up the challenge.

She conducted some interviews and spent time on set, as well as mingled around the grounds—the site of her junior Grand Slam title win eight years ago.

She chatted with Nick Kyrgios, as he proceeded to make his way to the third round:

The 24-year-old is currently ranked No. 349 but was ranked inside the Top 30 in 2013. She dealt with a serious left wrist injury that required surgery in 2014 and additional surgery in 2015. After her broadcast success, Robson had to change her TV outfits for a hospital smock to undergo hip surgery.

Robson played eight events in 2018, all on the ITF Pro Circuit.
