British hopeful Laura Robson will take on former world number one Caroline Wozniacki in the first round of the French Open.

British number one Laura Robson will go head to head with Danish pro Caroline Wozniacki in the first round of the French Open.

The 19-year-old faces a tough opening encounter against the former world number one, who has lost her last four matches on clay.

Meanwhile, another member of the British contingent Heather Watson has been drawn Swiss Stefanie Voegele in the first round, while Elena Baltacha is due to meet New Zealand's Marina Erakovic on the court.

US Open champion Andy Murray will be absent from the men's draw as he was forced to pull out of the tournament with a back injury.
