I'm British, junior champ says

LONDON: Fourteen-year-old Laura Robson gave Britain a rare Wimbledon title on Saturday and then insisted she's a proud Brit and not an Aussie, despite being born in Melbourne.

Robson, the youngest player in the tournament, defeated Thailand's Noppawan Lertcheewakarn 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 in the girls final to become the first home winner of junior Wimbledon since Annabel Croft in 1984.

She then drew wild applause from the British media when she rebuffed an Australian reporter's query as to whether or not she felt Australian.
