The Junior Wimbledon champion, 15, was top seed for the event - after becoming world No 1 earlier this year - but she could not live up to her billing as she lost 7-6 (12-10), 1-6, 6-3 to Sandra Zaniewska. Robson, who reached the final of the Australian Open in January but has admitted to struggling on the slower clay, saved match points at 5-2 but could not do the same on Zaniewska's serve as the Pole sealed her third-round spot. The English girl, who needed to come from a set down to beat Karina Pimkina the previous day, went an early break down but fought back and broke Zaniewska in the seventh game.
