Laura Robson is the highest ranked 14-year-old in the world  Laura Robson, who is the first home-grown talent to win the girls' junior title for 24 years, celebrated her victory at the black tie event at the Intercontinental Hotel in London's Park Lane.  But the 14-year-old said she was determined not to let the whirlwind of Wimbledon distract her from everyday life.  "I'm going to go back to training next week and then the same old," she said. "I have to keep my schoolwork in order – my mum says there's always room for that."  The teenager, who was born in Melbourne and moved to Britain when she was six, is taking four GCSEs a year early over the next 12 months and two more the year after.  At the age of nine she would rise at 6am to play tennis before school lessons but she is now tutored at home so she can spend four hours a day studying and four or five hours playing tennis.  Her wild card win over the third seed Thai Noppawan Lertcheewakarn on Saturday catapulted her into the media spotlight.  Yesterday, she chose an outfit from designer Elisabeth Piner before attending the ball, which plays host to the year's finalists, past champions and members of the All England Club.  She chose a black cocktail dress paired with pink high-heels and a pearl bracelet.  Miss Piner said: "This dress seemed to be the most perfect dress, she took it home to show her mother. She was a really lovely girl, she was very excited and we were all very excited to have her there. We made a big fuss of her."  Earlier in the week, Laura admitted having a teenage crush on the Russian player Marat Safin and was delighted to receive a note from him wishing her luck, although he said he wouldn't be able to accompany her to the ball.  "I'm not sure who I'm going to take now that he's out of the picture – a bit disappointing, actually," she said. Asked whether she was more excited about the letter or her Wimbledon win, she replied: "The letter for sure." Laura is being protected by her parents Andrew, a Shell executive, and Kathy, a former professional basketball player, as well as her coaches and the Lawn Tennis Association.  The bookmakers have already cut the odds on her becoming Wimbledon Ladies' Champion before 2020 with Ladbrokes quoting her at 6/1.  Former stars of the game yesterday lined up to pay tribute to Laura's skills but also to warn against placing too many expectations on her too soon.  Tim Henman said: "Away from the court, she is very self-assured and mature. It is going to be great as she does look like she has potential – but we are going to have to be patient.  "She's only 14 and has won junior Wimbledon but I can see people thinking that if she gets into the main draw next year she's going to win it."  Wimbledon women's champion Venus Williams said: "It is important to believe in yourself ultimately, she needs to keep her head and eye on the ball. She is something else."  Only four girl junior champions have gone on to win the main title in the history of Wimbledon. Martina Hingis – who was the youngest at 13 in 1994 – and Amelie Mauresmo are the only two to have done so since 1960.  Laura, who is the highest ranked 14-year-old in the world, is expected to rise from 36 in the world juniors ranking to five. She started playing at the age of six. Her big break came in The Sunday Telegraph Center Parcs Junior Tennis Grand Prix Masters Final in Nottingham in September 2003, which she narrowly lost.  She was trained by the former Wimbledon mixed-doubles champion Jo Durie at the age of nine and played doubles with Tim Henman in 2004, before signing a sponsorship deal with adidas in 2007.  Laura did not receive any prize money for her recent victory, but is expected to be given a wild card to play in next year's senior tournament at Wimbledon.
Britian's teenage Wimbledon winner was the belle of the Champions Ball last    night – but today she is returning to a more familiar life mixing tennis    practice with studying for her GCSEs and household chores.
