British trio marches into Day Four

Limeys, Poms, Roast beef, whatever you call us, Britain is going to have three names involved when Day Four slips on it's clean white socks tomorrow morning.

Laura Robson's match may have been a first-rounder but she's just beaten Angelique Kerber 4-6, 7-6, 6-3. Not just a victory, but a comeback - mental toughness isn't a lost art in the homeland after all.

Another thing, 2008 Wimbledon junior champ Robson is 17 - so Dan Cox, 20, James Ward, 21, Heather Watson, 19 and Daniel Evans, 21, all take note. The bar has just been officially raised.

And the prize for the youngster? A second-round meeting with Maria Sharapova on Court No.1 tomorrow.
