The eagerly anticipated draw for Wimbledon was announced earlier this morning.

British number one Laura Robson faces a tough task against world number ten Maria Kirilenko of Russia on Tuesday, while Britain’s number two Heather Watson takes on American rising star Madison Keys.

There is every chance Robson’s match will be scheduled for a show court, and speaking earlier in the week she said, “I’m happy playing on any court against any player.

“I’m just happy to be playing at Wimbledon.

“I don’t need a wildcard or anything like that, so I’m pretty happy with how things are going. Ideally I’d like to not face Serena first round, but you have to play whoever you get.”

Johanna Konta is up against Serbia’s former world number one Jelena Jankovic, Elena Baltacha plays Italian Flavia Pennetta, Anne Keothavong faces Spaniard Garbine Muguruza, Tara Moore meets Estonian Kaia Kanepi, and Samantha Murray takes on Camila Giorgi of Italy.

Wimbledon begins next Monday 24 June and will be broadcast live on both BBC1 and BBC2.
