In 2013, Robson gained much praise by defeating Petra Kvitová in the second round Australian Open 11–9 in the deciding set, in a marathon match. At Madrid, Robson gained the first top four victory of her career, upsetting world No. 4, Agnieszka Radwańska, in the second round in straight sets, losing just four games.[1] She subsequently lost to former world No. 1, Ana Ivanovic, in the following round, after having led 5–2 in the final set.[2]
At Wimbledon, she reached the fourth round as the home favorite, coming back from 1–6, 2–5 down to win her third-round match. At the US Open, Robson was seeded at a major event for the first time, at 30.

^The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Ladies Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009 to 2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The Premier 5 tournaments were reclassified as WTA 1000 tournaments in 2021.
