After practising for the first time since having hip surgery a year ago, former British number one Laura Robson says she feared she would never "make it back on court".

Robson, 26, first had hip surgery in June 2018 and then again last December.

The 2008 Wimbledon junior champion has not played since retiring from a match in April 2019.

"It's taken ridiculous amounts of rehab and hard work to get to this point so I'm very proud of myself," she said.

"I honestly didn't think I'd make it back on court after the last surgery.
