Hope laura can win tomorrow, i'm a bit worried since she's up against teh person who beat the 15th seed. Sorry for voting against her in the suicide contest, it's only so I get a bit of consolation if she loses.
More disappointed overall that Watson couldn't get a bit further.Robson has had a good spell but she has a way to go if we're realistic.Certainly has the game to be topb10
Hsieh Su-Wei wrote an article for chinadaily. Here's an excerpt:
I was very surprised that Laura Robson (the runner-up in Guangzhou) defeated Li Na in the US Open. No offense, but I was like "oh, are you kidding me? How did that happen?"
I was really shocked, but I have to admit (Robson) is a genius. All the left-handers are geniuses. She improved her serve a lot and is going to be a tough opponent very soon.
Great draw
Easy peasy til the QF, and the only threat there would be McHale, who's not playing well lately. Great opportunity to make another WTA semi here for Laura.
McHale lost in the first round. Which means Chang would be the toughest opponent for Laura in a potential QF. But for now let's hope she'll play well against Daniilidou.

good win for laura, Zhou is up next, the fact that she's outside the top 200 may make her seem like an easy opponant but she's made it this far, so Laura would be foolish to underestimate her.
One more win and she would be 2 points behind the current no 50. Semi-final should do it. Semi-final is where she would potentially meet Stosur, so as far as I can work out she can get into top 50 without having to beat Stosur.
She will lose 30 more points if she finishes her season in Osaka but it should still be enough to finish top 50!
If she wins the tournament she'll get to about 41. But that may be a little optimistic..
