LONDON, June 21 (Reuters) - Teenager Laura Robson, who became the darling of the
British public last year by winning the junior title, will have all eyes on her
on Monday as she has been given the honour of being the first to play on
Wimbledon's new Court Two.

But when the 15-year-old steps out to make her grand slam debut against
Slovakia's Daniela Hantuchova, she will face a much stiffer test than the school
exams she just sat.

Robson, given a wildcard thanks to her run to the junior title 12 months ago, is
likely to get excited when she catches sight of her name listed on the All
England Club's roll of honour as she makes her way to the new Court Two but from
then on nerves could kick in.

Monica Seles, a teenage prodigy who went on to win nine grand slam titles, urged
Robson to embrace her moment in the spotlight rather than to get overwhelmed by
it.

"She should go out there and enjoy it. If she starts getting nervous just
remember why you started playing tennis and go back to that simplicity... that
thought has helped me so much in my tennis career," Seles told Reuters in an
interview.

"When you are on the world stage it's normal to get nervous and as Billie Jean
King said 'pressure is a privilege'.

"On the tennis court I thrived under pressure and it brought out my best game...
off court it was difficult growing up under such media scrutiny especially
during my teenage years.

"But once you decide to play professionally you learn that it all comes with the
territory and you might as well enjoy it while it lasts."

Robson and Hantuchova have the honour of being the first competitors to play on
the new 4,000-seater Court Two, which is built like a sunken amphitheatre.
