Laura Robson not worried by wrist injury

British number one Laura Robson says that she is not worried about her wrist injury flaring up at the Australian Open.

Laura Robson has said that she is not concerned by a wrist injury ahead of the Australian Open.

The British number one was forced to pull out of a warm-up tournament earlier this month because of problems with her wrist.

The 19-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It was a bit of tendinitis, and there was a bit of a ligament thing in there also. We thought after we saw the first doctor that it would be fine for Auckland.

"Then I still felt it a bit, so I saw another doctor when I got here. I just wasn't quite ready to play a match in Hobart and didn't want to make anything worse.

"It seems to be cleared up now. My wrist feels pretty good. It's just one of those things that a lot of tennis players have, and it comes with the territory."

The world number 46 faces 18th seed Kirsten Flipkens in the first round of the tournament.
