Laura Robson has revealed that she was on holiday when she received her last-minute wildcard entry to the US Open.Robson was convinced she would not be given a chance to play at Flushing Meadows and had flown to Italy with friends, but she had barely had time to unpack when she received a phone call and was back at the airport ready to fly to New York for the years final Grand Slam.I played my [Challenger Tour] final in Landisville on Sunday and no one thought there was any chance of me getting a wildcard, Robson said.I was on the phone to [agent] Max [Eisenbud], and he was like, Im not getting any good vibes from the USTA, so he was just going, Yeah, go home.The next morning, on the Monday, I was like, I am supposed to get on this flight, should I go? Everyone just goes, Yeah, yeah, only a 10 percent chance.It was one of those things where I sort of knew in the back of my mind it was going to happen because as soon as you plan for it not to...I landed in Italy at like 9 a.m. [then] went up Vesuvius and did a bit of Pompeii and went straight back to the airport, so I had a great time.I dropped my friends off at the villa, which was amazing, and then turned around and came back.Robsons friends have been sending her holiday snaps of what she is missing but the world No. 247 will not mind.Once considered one of the games rising stars, Robson was given a reality check at Wimbledon when she was, in her own words, duffed up by world No. 2 Angelique Kerber. It prompted a change of attitude, where she no longer pines for the player she once was.Im not really looking at it that way any more, Robson said. I maybe was at the start of the year when I still had my protected ranking but its a totally different vibe for me now.I put so much pressure on myself every time I entered a tournament with my protected ranking to do well because you feel like you have to win to get your ranking back up quicker to then be in positions like this.I dont think it was a healthy way of thinking about it and I kind of let that all go after Wimbledon.I had a couple of horrendous Challengers but you just have to keep thinking its going to come together and I knew that when it did Id be ready for it because Id put the work in, so as soon as that happened, I feel a lot freer.Robson arrived from Italy with conjunctivitis in her eye but, now recovered, she is preparing to face fellow Briton Naomi Broady, the British No. 3, ranked 164 places above her.Initially, when I was coming back, I just lost the joy of playing a little bit, Robson said. It was such a grind for me trying to get through a tournament and stay healthy.Im just enjoying it. If it works out, great; if it doesnt, its not the end of the world.My mum always says to me: Its just a tennis match. Although I did call her and she was tearing up a bit. So she says that, but it means a lot.Press Association Sport contributed to this report. Balenciaga Schuhe Schweiz . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning.
