'I thought [playing on Centre] was going to be a lot more overwhelming, but the court's not as big as it seems on TV.'I was a lot more nervous when I woke up yesterday morning and then when I got into the court I was just trying to focus on not losing 6-0 6-0.'
Laura has only just finished her schooling – and is not even full-time on the professional circuit yet. But she has vowed to make tennis her 'number one priority' so she can win Wimbledon one day.
'Ideally I would have liked to have won it this year, but that's obviously not going to happen,' she added. The youngster, 232 places in the rankings below her opponent, played with panache.
Although she lost the first set 6-3, in the second set, she broke her opponent's serve and took her to a tiebreak before losing it 7-6. As a first-round loser, she takes away £11,250 to add to her career winnings of £56,150.

British hope Laura Robson faced the fourth seed on Centre Court yesterday - something that would be enough to put most of us off our forehand – and our backhand – never mind the serve.
Elena Baltacha, 26, was favourite to beat Croatia's Petra Martic. She served for the match in the second set, but she was defeated by the player 24 places lower in the rankings.
Melanie South, 24, lost 6-1 6-2 to world no. 69 Regina Kulikova. Katie O'Brien, 24, lost 6-3, 6-7, 64 to 28th seed Alona Bondarenko.
Tens of thousands of fans flocked to the All England Club for a humid opening day's tennis.
Some had camped out for three days to be at the front of the queue that snaked through SW19, and if they were hop
The Centre Court crowd may have seen a little more than they bargained for yesterday, as the women's game reached a new high - in terms of hemlines at least.Catching the eye with their outfits rather than their tennis were Stefanie Voegele and Maria Kirilenko, who wore particularly skimpy outfits, showing off their toned thighs - and a little more besides - in the first round.
Kirilenko, the 27th seed from Russia, eventually beat the Swiss world number 87 in three sets.
