Wimbledon week two: Andy Murray and Laura Robson swing into action

Andy Murray and Laura Robson will swing into action today amid unprecedented support for the two Wimbledon hopefuls.

The pair will share the spotlight after Robson, 19, booked a place in the fourth round on Friday and became the first British woman to do so since 1998.

But while Murray, 26, is expected to be cheered on by his mother Judy and girlfriend Kim Sears, Robson's mother will not be present to watch the teenager in action.

Instead, she will stay at home in Greece where she is looking after the family's two black labradors, Ella and Kiri.

Robson, who has seen her status rise dramatically during the last week, is the favourite in her tie against Estonian Kaia Kanepi.

The fourth-round clash comes after the teenager pulled off a remarkable comeback to defeat hard-hitting New Zealander Marina Erakovic in front of an animated crowd on Court Two last week.

A win today would, in all likelihood, see her pitted against defending champion Serena Williams in the quarter-finals.

The British number one has had the backing of the crowd in all her clashes last week and is expected to experience the same level of support when she steps onto Court One at 1pm.

Williams, who last week tipped the teenager to make the top five, said: "People would love to see Laura win this tournament.

"Being (at) home, this would be a great opportunity for her. I think it would be fun.

"So the crowd is going to be completely behind her, as would I."

She is not alone in rating the player, who currently ranks 38th in the world.

Robson has seen her fan-base swell dramatically since the Championships opened, drawing support from all realms of public life.
