What a hit: Robson sent the Twitter community into a frenzy
Ben Bailey10 April 2012

British tennis sensation Laura Robson sent the Twitter community, not to mention the crowds at Wimbledon, wild this afternoon with her emphatic display against Daniela Hantuchova.

The 15-year-old Londoner, who made her senior grand slam debut today, gained entry to Wimbledon with a wildcard.

Few gave the young Londoner a chance against the 32nd seed Hantuchova, but a scintilating performance sent Twitter into overdrive, as the nation went Rosbson-mad.

Here is some of the entries below.
