Australian Open 2010: Alicia Molik receives wildcard

Watch 2010 Australian Open Wildcard announcement

Alicia Molik and Olivia Rogowska were given wild cards into the 2010 Australian Open. There is just 1 wild card left to give away on the women’s Australian Open field.

Organizers had previously granted Justine Henin a wild-card entry into the women’s draw. Casey Dellacqua earned another wild card after winning in the Play-off at Melbourne Park.

“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.

“She was the form player in the domestic Pro Tour and she is such a class act she deserves every opportunity that comes her way.”

“Olivia has scaled the rankings this year and nearly beat the reigning world No.1 Dinara Safina at the US Open. Her form during the Pro Tour was good and she made the final of the Wildcard Play-off,” Taylor explained.
