Laura Robson has received entry into the London 2012 Olympic Games tennis singles event after Petra Martic (CRO) had to withdraw through injury.

The British Olympic Association confirmed that 18 year-old Robson replaced world no.53 Martic on Friday afternoon, the day before the Olympic tennis event begins.

Robson, the world No.96, faces Lucie Safarova (CZE) in the first round.

Robson will enter the singles event alongside fellow Team GB players Anne Keothavong, Elena Baltacha and Heather Watson. She will also partner 20 year-old Watson in the doubles competition.

On Saturday, the GB Olympic tennis team of Laura Robson, Anne Keothavong, Elena Baltacha, Heather Watson, Ross Hutchins, Colin Fleming, Jamie Murray and Andy Murray all begin their Olympic campaigns.
