Robson sets for second hip operation

Former British number one Laura Robson has had hip surgery for a second time “after months of struggling”.
The 25-year-old, who first had hip surgery in June 2018, returned to action in February but has not played since retiring during a match in April.
Her injury issues echo those of former world number one Andy Murray, who in October won his first singles title since having career-saving hip surgery in January.
Robson reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2013 and was ranked world number 27 in the same year, but her career has subsequently been plagued by injury.
