Laura Robson forced to retire from tennis at just 28 years old
The Metro says Laura Robson has been forced to retire from tennis at just 28 years old as injuries have brought a painfully early end to her career.
Robson won the junior Wimbledon title at 14 years old and was just 18 when she won Olympic silver alongside Andy Murray in the mixed doubles.
She reached a high of number 27 in the world rankings and her best run at Grand Slams saw her make the fourth round at Wimbledon and the US Open.
However, a string of injuries, firstly to her wrist and latterly her hip, have brought about an early end to her career on the court.
‘I went through every possibility of rehab and of surgery,’ Robson told the BBC.
