Laura Robson preaches patience as she prepares for Wimbledon return

Laura Robson warns that she must be patient in her tennis comeback at Wimbledon and admits that losing "is not the end of the world."

British tennis player Laura Robson has insisted that she must remain patient as she prepares to step up her comeback at Wimbledon next week.

The 21-year-old has just returned from a 17-month injury lay-off, and lost in her first game back against Daria Gavrilova at the Eastbourne tournament last week.

She told BBC Sport: "My coach, my trainer, we're all very patient - if I don't play well, then it is not the end of the world.

"We all learn in tennis that there's always next week. There's always going to be another week for me, because I'm injury free, I think that's the main thing.

"If it doesn't work out after this tournament, I'm going to go play some challengers in America. It's going to take a while. But, yeah, patience."

Robson will meet Evgeniya Rodina in the first round.
