Robson handed star billing

British teenager Laura Robson has been handed top billing at the Rod Laver Arena for her match against Petra Kvitova on day four of the Australian Open.

Robson goes up against the former Wimbledon winner tomorrow at 8am UK time after thrashing Melanie Oudin in straight sets in the first round.

Roger Federer and Nikolay Davydenko's enticing second-round clash joins Robson versus Kvitova on the Rod Laver court, with Serena Williams and Bernard Tomic also in action in the afternoon session.

Elsewhere, British attention will focus on the Hisense Arena earlier in the day with Andy Murray's match against Joao Sousa due out second at around 2am UK time.

Ninth seed Juan Martin del Potro is the night attraction at the Margaret Court Arena as he takes on Benjamin Becker of Germany.
