Laura Robson replaces Petra Martic in ladies singles draw

Laura Robson drafted into ladies singles draw at the Olympics after the withdrawal of Petra Matric.

Great Britain's Laura Robson has been handed a place in the ladies singles draw at the Olympics after the withdrawal of Croatia's Petra Martic.

The world number 96 has been forced to withdraw from the tournament through injury, resulting in Robson being drafted in to face Czech Republic's Lucie Safarova on Sunday.

The 18-year-old's inclusion now means that Great Britain will have four representatives in the ladies singles event.

Heather Watson also benefited from the withdrawal of another player when Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko opted to miss the Olympics.
