Former British number one Laura Robson suffered a heavy defeat on her return to action in Eastbourne after 17 months out with a wrist injury.

The 21-year-old was beaten 6-0 6-1 by Russia's Daria Gavrilova, the top seed in qualifying for the Aegon Classic.

In windy conditions, Robson double-faulted four times in her first service game and went on to lose in 58 minutes.
