Laura Robson in talks with TNT Sports about surprise role fronting Ashes in Australia

Robson has been pundit since retiring from tennis

TNT have offered on-the-ground reporting role

Laura Robson is in talks with TNT Sports about a surprise role fronting their live coverage of the Ashes from Australia this winter.

The junior Wimbledon champion and mixed doubles Olympic silver medallist has made a successful transition to broadcasting since her premature retirement from tennis three years ago, working as a pundit for both TNT and Sky Sports, but England’s tour to Australia would be her first major TV job outside tennis.
