Robson's a winner again

Laura Robson beat the elements in the nick of time to get a first win since the Australian Open in Miami.

The British number two beat Camila Giorgi in three sets, seeing off the Italian 6-4 4-6 6-3, with match point cashed in as a thunderstorm started.

Other courts had already cleared as a result of the weather, but Robson hung around to beat Giorgi, giving her a first victory since she beat Petra Kvitova in Melbourne two months ago.

Since then she has lost three first-round clashes, but her victory is a timely tonic for the women`s game after number one Heather Watson broke down after losing on Tuesday, saying she would be taking a break from the game, only to retract her comments.
