The world No113 was giving away 42 rankings places against her Czech opponent but she more than held her own for the first two sets. However, Zahlavova Strycova rattled off five consecutive games in the deciding set to seal victory. Robson had won the first set easily but the second was a different affair. The seventh game was hard fought with Robson prevailing on serve but, after her opponent held, it was the Czech who broke for 5-4. Robson then immediately broke back for 5-5 and looked odds-on for 6-5 but the Czech broke before holding to level the match and take it into a deciding set.
