Playoff finalists Dokic, Luzcak given Oz wildcards


Jelena Dokic and Peter Luczak, who lost in the finals of Tennis Australia's Australian Open wildcard playoffs, will still get spots in the main draw after organizers gave them each a discretionary wildcard into the tournament.

"I had a pretty good play-off considering I didn’t play a match in over two months, it was a good practice run for me and I’m very happy to receive the wildcard," said Dokic, who was upset by Olivia Rogowska after dominating early in the match. "There was a big difference between my first match and my semis and finals and I was disappointed to have lost the final when I was winning so easily and everything was going so well."

"I feel as though all my Christmases have come at once," said Luczak, who lost to Marinko Matosevic in five sets in the playoffs.
