British number one Heather Watson says that she is "upset" at not being picked as Andy Murray's partner for the mixed doubles event at the London 2012 Olympics.

British number one Heather Watson has expressed her disappointment at being overlooked as Andy Murray's partner for the mixed doubles event at the London 2012 Olympics.

Despite the 20-year-old winning a WTA doubles title in California with Marina Erekovic two weeks ago, Laura Robson was selected to team up with Murray at SW19.

"I thought I might have deserved a spot, especially as I just won a tournament," said Watson. "I'm just upset that I didn't get picked, but there's not much else I can do about it now. I wanted the Olympics to go on."

Murray and Robson, begin their challenge against Lucie Hradecka and Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic on Wimbledon's Court 18 this evening.
