Laura Robson was defeated in the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships first round
Laura Robson was beaten by Kazakhstan's Yulia Putintseva in the first round of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
Robson, the world number 45, lost 6-4 2-6 7-6 (8/6) in two hours 21 minutes to her 18-year-old opponent.
The British number two started well by racing into a 2-0 lead in the first set, but was immediately pegged back as Putintseva took the opener.
Robson responded well in the second set, but Putintseva held her nerve in the tie-break to book her place in the next round.
