Laura Robson suffers Chris Kamara moment live on Sky Sports as ex-tennis ace laughs nervously during US Open coverage

TENNIS pundit Laura Robson hilariously admitted she was having her own “Chris Kamara moment” during Jack Draper’s US Open quarter-final against Alex de Minaur.

Former British No1 Robson, 30, retired from tennis in 2022 having reached the fourth round at Wimbledon and won an Olympic silver medal alongside Andy Murray.

She has since turned her hand to working in the media and is a part of Sky Sports‘ coverage of the US Open in New York.

For British star Draper‘s last-eight match against Aussie De Minaur, Robson was situated courtside as the commentators threw to her at various stages during the broadcast.

At the beginning of the second set it looked as though De Minaur had injured his hip as medics prepared to come on to provide treatment.

But when the game ended the medics rushed to treat Draper’s hamstring – a strain he had felt when closing out the opening set.

Surprised they had predicted an injury for the wrong player, the commentators went to Robson for clarification.

She explained the injury did not appear to be serious as Draper had not taken the evaluation time, but then joked she had been confused herself as to who was going to receive the treatment.

She said: “I don’t know who I was looking at then. You guys said the physio was coming on and I was a bit like ‘But for who, Chris Kamara?’

“I couldn’t tell, but then the physio walked straight past Alex, they didn’t even make eye contact.”

Robson was referencing Kamara’s iconic moment from Soccer Saturday 14 years ago[/caption]

Robson’s reference of former Soccer Saturday reporter Kamara is in relation to his iconic piece of hapless broadcasting from 2010.

The former Brentford midfielder failed to spot that a player had been sent off during a game he was at between Portsmouth and Blackburn after host Jeff Stelling asked: “There’s been a red card, but for who, Chris Kamara?”

He admitted to having “missed” the dismissal, leaving those in the studio and the viewers at home in stitches.

Robson quit tennis after being plagued by injuries – a hip problem forcing her into early retirement.

She worked for Eurosport at the Australian Open earlier this year and is fast-becoming a fan-favourite.
