Alicia Molik and two-time junior Grand Slam winner Bernard Tomic were given wild cards into next month's Australian Open on Thursday.

Melbourne teenager Olivia Rogowska was given the other women's wild card by tournament organizers.

Tomic, national under-18 champion Jason Kubler and Davis Cup player Carsten Ball took three of the four remaining men's wild cards for the first Grand Slam of 2010. Tomic added the U.S. Open boys' title to last year's Australian Open junior crown.

Organizers had previously granted former No. 1 Justine Henin of Belgium a wild-card entry into the women's draw.
