Former British No 1 Laura Robson didn\u2019t know where to look as she gave her verdict on a romantic moment on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The US Open cameras captured a special moment as a fan went down on one knee and proposed to his partner, amid wild scenes of celebration on the biggest tennis court in the world.<\/p>\n
It appeared to be a moment to savour, but Robson was not impressed as she was asked to give her verdict on the engagement scene, as she was quick to suggest she would rather avoid such public shows of affection.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t think of anything worse,\u201d declared Robson, in comments that were quickly put into context by her studio colleague and 18-time Grand Slam singles champion, Martina Navratilova, who revealed she proposed to her partner Julia Lemigova on the same court back in 2014.<\/p>\n
\u201cI proposed to Julia on Ashe 11 years ago,\u201d declared tennis icon Navratilova.<\/p>\n
