'Laura Robson a shadow of the player from 2012'
Former British number one Annabel Croft says Laura Robson is a "shadow" of the player who impressed at the US Open in 2012.
Robson was eliminated in the first round of the French Open on Tuesday after losing 6-2 6-2 to Andrea Petkovic.
The 22-year-old has been plagued by persistent wrist problems since 2014 and has dropped to 329 in the world rankings.
Croft said: "When I watched her today I thought: 鈥渨ow鈥, this is just a shadow of the player I witnessed at the US Open beating Kim Clijsters and Li Na, and yet you can see the talent bubbling under the surface. She has one of the best strikes I have ever seen on a court. It is a shame, she is clearly down on confidence."
