Watson lands Olympics slot

Great Britain's Heather Watson has been handed a late call-up to the Olympic Games in London.

The 20-year-old has benefited from an injury that has forced Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko to give up her place in the singles draw.

Watson has now become the third British woman to enter the tennis competition, with Anne Keothavong and Elena Baltacha already included.

She is also competing in the doubles alongside Laura Robson at Wimbledon.
