Four female Brits given Olympics wildcards

Four British female tennis pros have been given wildcards to compete in this summer's London Olympics.

Laura Robson will join Heather Watson in the doubles tournament in the capital, while Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong have been handed an opportunity to take part in the singles tournament.

Robson recently expressed her hope of being part of the Games following her disappointing first-round defeat to Francesca Schiavone at Wimbledon yesterday.

Meanwhile, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins have been added to the men's doubles team for Great Britain.
