Alicia Molik’s comeback to world tennis was given a major boost this morning when she was given a wildcard into the main draw of Australian Open 2010.
Australian Open organisers announced two women’s and three men’s wildcards today.
Talented Melbourne teenager Olivia Rogowska was given the other women’s wildcard announced which leaves just one remaining.
In the men’s side Davis Cup player Carsten Ball, two-time junior grand slam winner Bernard Tomic and national under 18 champion Jason Kubler from Queensland were announced as wildcards.
“Alicia is a former world No. 8 who has done more than enough to earn this,” Fed Cup coach and national selector David Taylor said today.
