Boost for British duo

Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong have been given a wildcard for the doubles at the London Olympics.

Mixed doubles will be decided when players sign in for tournament

British duo Elena Baltacha and Anne Keothavong have been given a wildcard to compete in the doubles at the Olympics. The pair were already selected to represent Great Britain in the singles, with Laura Robson and Heather Watson entered in the doubles. However, an injury to Romania's Monica Niculescu has forced her to withdraw along with partner Irina-Camelia Begu, so the International Tennis Federation has given their place in the draw to Baltacha and Keothavong. The host nation will also have two pairs in the men's doubles, with Andy Murray and Jamie Murray teaming up together. Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins have also earned places on their rankings, while Andy Murray will be the sole representative in the men's singles. The mixed doubles entries will be decided when the players sign in for the tournament, which begins at Wimbledon on July 28.
