Laura proves Wimbledon was no fluke as Brit super teen storms into semis

It made no difference that the 35-year-old Israeli is old enough to be Robson' s mother as she was dismissed 6-3, 6-3 in the quarter-final of the LTA £40,000 event at the Welti Leisure Club in Shrewsbury.

Super teen: British Wimbledon junior champion Laura Robson cruises through to the semi-finals in Shrewsbury

The 14-year-old Wimbledon junior champion, again showing a total lack of nerves, took just 63 minutes and broke once in the first set and twice in the second to beat a player ranked 120 in the world, but who has been as high as 75.

Word had spread sufficiently for TV cameras and a crowd of 200 to be in attendance as the left-handed Robson made it through to the semi-final in just her second senior event.

She now faces Estonia's No. 2, 25-year-old Maret Ani, who is ranked 105 and the second seed for a tournament on the tier not far below the main international Sony-Ericsson WTA Tour.

Robson last week reached the second round of a bottom-rung £5,000 event in Limoges before defaulting with a shoulder injury, but already that level looks insufficient to test her.

She actually needs to play three professional tournaments to gain a world ranking, and even if she loses today and her next match proves to be an unlikely first round exit, she would still be on the verge of the top 500.

Robson's play suggests she has quickly achieved the standard required of someone around the top 100 and she has shown that Wimbledon was not a fluke.

Britain's Elena Baltacha and Katie O'Brien, both established top 150 players and ranked two and three in the country behind Anne Keothavong, are already out of the tournament in which she survives.

Robson fought off break points early in the second set and pounced swiftly to gain one of two breaks.

There are few holes in her game and this week has also demonstrated how horrible it is for older players to face a feisty teenager with no fear, especially when you are an out-and-out veteran like Obziler.

Nigel Sears, the LTA's highly-experienced head coach for women who counts the likes of Amanda Coetzer and Daniela Hantuchova among his former charges, has been very impressed.

'This match against Obziler was the best of the three she has won this week so far,' he said.

'She completely outplayed someone with a decent ranking, it was top quality. Laura showed remarkable composure and made scarily few errors - it was a very smart match she played.'

Robson is trying to keep a low profile and does not have to face the media at an event such as this but she is obliged to do so at a higher level. And she will not be playing too many more Shrewsburys, according to Sears.

'We need to be careful about discussing where she belongs in the rankings because her game is still very much developing,' he said.

'In 18 months I expect she will be playing on the main tour. She is far from the finished article but is developing fast, and it will be exciting to see when she is the finished article.

'I'm not really surprised about anything she does any more. It's down to the hard work she has already put in and her level of strength and fitness tells you that fitness trainer Steve Kotze is doing good work with her day in, day out.'
