Laura Robson announces retirement from tennis aged 28 after injury hell

Former British No.1 Laura Robson has announced her retirement from tennis aged just 28 after struggling to overcome her injury issues.

Robson burst onto the scene when she won junior Wimbledon at 14. Four years later, she claimed a silver medal at the London 2012 Olympics, after playing in the mixed doubles with Andy Murray.

She went on to reach a career high of 27 in the world rankings, whilst still a teenager, but never reached the last-eight of a Grand Slam. Her best efforts came at the 2012 US Open and then SW19 the following year, where she made the fourth round of each tournament.
