Laura Robson will not use protected ranking for Australian Open
Laura Robson.
INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Laura Robson has decided not to use her protected ranking of 58 to gain direct entry into January's Australian Open.

The 21-year-old has played in eight events since a 17-month lay-off with wrist problems, including the US Open.

However, playing in New York - where she lost in the first round to Elena Vesnina - means the world number 555 can only use the protected ranking to enter one more Grand Slam.

She may now instead opt to wait for the French Open.
