Noppawan Lertcheewakarn's dream of winning Junior Wimbledon was dashed as she was beaten by Britain's 14-year-old Laura Robson in the girl's singles final at All England Club, England on Saturday.

" It was tough when all the people were clapping for her. It was a lot of pressure on me, I was ready for that but it was a first time like this. I was really nervous and she played well today. At the beginning of the third set she do two unbelievable balls, hit winners on the line two times after long rallies and afterwards I was a little bit down. " said Noppawan, 16-year-old world No.5 who became the second Thai girl to reach the Junior Wimbledon final since Tamarine Tanasugarn in 1995.

So I sat down after the second set and I thought , well if I want to win this, then I have to change my attitude. " said Robson who become the first British Junior Wimbledon champion since Annabel Croft in 1984 and the next youngest after Martina Hingis in 1994 at 13 years old...............More
