Laura Robson not worried by wrist injury

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.
