Laura Robson says that it should be "really fun" to play Olympic mixed doubles with Andy Murray after the pair were handed a wildcard.

Great Britain's Laura Robson has said that it should be "really fun" to play Olympic mixed doubles with Andy Murray.

The pair were handed an ITF wildcard yesterday and entered into the draw, where they were given a first-round match against the Czech duo of Radek Stepanek and Lucie Hradecka.

Robson, who exited the women's singles to third seed Maria Sharapova, said: "It should be really fun playing with Andy.

"We haven't played since Hopman Cup (an exhibition event). But, you know, we haven't played together at all since then, and most of these teams have been teaming up almost every tournament that they can prepare for this, so it's definitely going to be tough."

When asked if she had discussed the match much with Murray, Robson added: "No. I saw him just before I went on today. Just sort of said, 'We're playing Hradecka/Stepanek.' He said that was old news. He's always up to date. I can't offer anything."

Robson does however feel that herself and Murray are "equal" on the court.

The Brits take on the Czechs at around 5pm at the All England Club later today.
