Meldonium also boosts the sexual prowess of boars apparently.

Laura Robson continues to struggle with her wrist and there are no signs of things turning around.

She is nominally on the list of entries for Indian Wells this week but I don't think that she is playing.


She is responsible for my biggest ever odds win on a single match when she beat Kim Clijsters in the US Open at about 9/1 so I'm particularly fond of her.
Hopefully she will make Nottingham this year.

Played yesterday and lost
Playing full clay court season
No pain since January

Go Laura

Yes, I watched the match.
The wrist seemed fine which was great to see.
She's just very rusty and it may take some time for her to regain her form.
Rybarikova was a bit tight in the first set but once she won the tie-break comfortably, she loosened up and Robson struggled to keep up.

The clay season may be a bit of a struggle as it's not her best surface.
Her protected ranking can be used in 8 tournaments (including two Grand Slam events) within a year of her comeback.

She should be back in good nick just in time to win Nottingham. I've booked tickets for the week.

Are those tickets the ones which allow you free access all areas , including changing rooms ?

Not since the incident last year.

Only once after winning.
She will have been tested a couple of times this year.
If her estimate of 50 total tests is correct she will have been tested about 10 time a year which is standard for top tennis players.

It's not clear how this would impact Maria Sharapova as she may have conceded that she took Meldonium after January 1 as part of her ongoing "treatment".
