Laura Robson has been added to the line-up for this year's AEGON International in Eastbourne, tournament organisers have announced.

The 19-year-old reached the second round of the event last year but has since risen to 41 in the world rankings, won a silver medal in the mixed doubles at the London Olympics and become the British number one.

Robson also claimed one of the biggest wins of her career on Monday, crushing fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3 6-1 in round two of the Madrid Open.

She said: "I'm really excited to be returning to the AEGON International in Eastbourne. It's fantastic preparation ahead of Wimbledon."

The AEGON International will take place between June 15 and 22.
