Laura Robson wows in very daring outfit live on Eurosport as tennis pundit brings style to Australian Open
LAURA ROBSON rocked her latest daring and dashing outfit at the Australian Open.
The former British tennis star, 29, retired from playing after a nightmare series of operations.
However, she remains actively involved in the sport with her seamless transition into media.
Melbourne-born Robson is working at the Australian Open providing expert punditry and analysis for Eurosport with Nick Kyrgios.
And she also has the responsibility to do some on-court interviews with players immediately after victories.
That included her chat with Anna Blinkova following her extraordinary win over No3 seed Elena Rybakina on Rod Laver Arena.

And Eurosport viewers were treated to the stylish star's brilliant and bold Barbie pink jumpsuit she rocked for Thursday's tennis coverage.
Robson is working Down Under alongside her TV colleagues including Kyrgios, Tim Henman and new presenter Rachel Stringer, who is impressing on screen after taking over from Alize Lim this year.
But even her years around tennis could not have prepared Robson for what unfolded at the end of the Blinkova-Rybakina match.
A topsy-turvy third set ended up in a match tie-break to ten points - with the winner needing to be two clear to win.

However, they could not be separated for half an hour before Blinkova eventually prevailed against 2023 runner-up and former Wimbledon champion Rybakina 22-20 in the breaker, making it the longest tie-break in a singles match in Grand Slam history.
Robson - who won the girls' singles title at Wimbledon aged just 14 - tweeted: "Utter scenes."
Then speaking to Blinkova in her bright pink number, she added: "Anna, where do we start? That was the most mental match I think I've ever seen in my life.
"I loved it. Did you love it? That was so stressful!"
Blinkova declared the win was the "best day of my life".
And Robson replied: "The best day for most of us as well, that was amazing."
Following her incredible rise to stardom as a junior, Robson reached the fourth round of the senior Grand Slams at Wimbledon and the US Open and secured a career-high world ranking of No27 in 2013.
She also won an Olympic silver medal alongside Andy Murray at London 2012 but injuries took their toll and she hung up her racket in 2022.

As well as her media work for Eurosport and Sky Sports, Robson also works as the tournament director for the Rothesay Open in Nottingham.
She also joined the international player relations team at Wimbledon - and rubbed shoulders with royalty as she sat alongside Princess Kate.
