Alicia Molik
Alicia Molik (born January 27, 1981) is a professional female
tennis player from Australia.
Molik was born in Adelaide, Australia, and currently lives
in Melbourne. She won her first grand slam doubles title at the 2005 Australian
Open with partner Svetlana Kuznetsova. She reached the top ten on the WTA
tour for the first time in early 2005 following her first Grand Slam quarterfinal
singles appearance, at the Australian Open, where she lost 9-7 in the final
set to Lindsay Davenport.
Molik won the bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in
Athens in women's singles.
Having contracted the ear infection vestibular neuronitis,
Molik was forced to miss much of the later 2005 season, and in October 2005
announced that she would be taking an extended break in order to recover,
including the whole 2006 season.
