Laura Robson in action against Romana Tabakova on Court Three

The tactic left Robson stranded at the baseline and earnt the petulant Slovakian a chorus of boos from unimpressed spectators.

American top seed Melanie Oudin and Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski, the ninth seed, have already fallen victim to Robson this week and the Australia-born Londoner
has yet to drop a set.

She raced into a commanding lead early in the opening set, breaking Tabakova in the second game and barely looking back.

Laura Robson plays a forehand on her way to victory

The Czech was being overwhelmed, struggling to cope with the ferocity of her opponent's precision from the baseline.

Two set points were saved in the eighth but Robson could not be denied on the third.

Serving to open the second set, her accuracy deserted her as she fired a routine winner wide to give Tabakova an early break.

Laura Robson has had to get used quickly to her new found fame

The wobble continued into the third game when she conceded another break point but a powerful forehand dug her out of trouble.

Play was held up while Tabakova received treatment to her left thigh and she was clearly unhappy as she surrendered her serve in double quick time.

She was back in trouble in the 12th and fired match point into the net to keep alive Robson's bid to become the first Briton to win the Wimbledon girl's title since Annabel Croft in 1984.
