Alicia Molik Biography

Alicia Molik is one of the most popular and richest Tennis Player who was born on January 27, 1981 in Adelaide, Australia. Alicia Molik (born 27 January 1981) is an Australian former professional tennis player. She reached a career-high singles ranking of world No. 8 and won a bronze medal for Australia at the 2004 Athens Olympics by upsetting then world No. 3 and reigning French Open champion Anastasia Myskina. Molik peaked at No. 6 in the doubles rankings and won Grand Slam titles at the 2005 Australian Open and the 2007 French Open alongside Svetlana Kuznetsova and Mara Santangelo, respectively. She won the 2004 Zurich Open, defeating Maria Sharapova in the final, and reached the finals of the 2004 Wimbledon, 2004 US Open, and 2007 Wimbledon mixed doubles events, as well as the quarterfinals of the 2005 Australian Open singles tournament.

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 7–9 in the final set to Lindsay Davenport.

Molik made her return from the ear infection at the Italian Open in 2006, losing in the first round to Katarina Srebotnik 2–6, 0–6, and lost to Austrian Tamira Paszek 7–5, 4–6, 4–6 in the first round in Istanbul. Molik won her first match since returning at the 2006 French Open, reaching the third round after defeating two relative unknowns and then losing to 4th seeded Maria Sharapova 0–6, 5–7.

Molik’s singles ranking continued to fall due to an elbow problem. Molik lost in the first round of singles qualifying at the French Open and Wimbledon in 2008, and did not win a main-draw match after January 2008. Molik has enjoyed erratic results in doubles, where she partnered Sun Tiantian and defeated Cara Black and Liezel Huber who were the top-seeds at the tournament in Sydney. She partnered Mara Santangelo at Wimbledon and the French Open, but fell in the first round of competition. Molik received a wildcard into the Beijing Olympics which she stated was “the best news I’ve had since 2004.” Representing Australia alongside fellow countrywomen Sam Stosur and Casey Dellacqua, Molik was ousted in the first round by Spanish María José Martínez Sánchez 6–2, 6–2.

Molik began 2005 by partnering Mark Philippoussis in the Hopman Cup. She played in the Sydney International, defeating unseeded players the entire way through the tournament before taking the title over compatriot Samantha Stosur in the final, 6–7, 6–4, 7–5. Molik played in the Australian Open as the 10th seed. She defeated Anabel Medina Garrigues in the first round, Aiko Nakamura in the second round and Tatiana Panova in the third round to set up a meeting with 8th seed Venus Williams in the fourth round. Molik defeated Williams in straight sets 7–5, 7–6 to become the first Australian woman to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals since 1988. Molik played in her first ever grand slam quarterfinal against top seed Lindsay Davenport. Davenport defeated Molik in a marathon three set match, 6–4, 4–6, 9–7. Molik won her first grand slam doubles title with Svetlana Kuznetsova. After the Australian Open, Molik rose into the top 10 in singles for the first time in her career, at No. 10.

Molik won the bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens in the women’s singles competition beating then world No. 3 Anastasia Myskina in straight sets 6–3, 6–4.

In late 2005, Molik was diagnosed with vestibular neuronitis, an inner-ear condition caused by a virus that affected her balance, vision and energy level. In October 2005, she announced that she would be taking an extended break through the 2006 season in order to recover. Molik should be part of the team for Australia’s Fed Cup group matches in April, but Australian Davis Cup Captain, David Taylor announced that she would not be selected due to lack of match play and rustiness. Instead, rookie Casey Dellacqua took her place.

Molik contracted an inner-ear infection shortly after the 2005 Australian Open, which developed into vestibular neuronitis, keeping her out of competition until May 2006. Even though she returned to the top 60 a year later, Molik was never able to replicate her pre-ailment singles results. She retired in August 2008 but then came back a year later September 2009; her last match was a second round defeat at the 2011 Australian Open to Nadia Petrova. Molik has expressed her intention to focus on her new life as a mother, rather than professional tennis.
