Dellacqua soars

Casey Dellacqua defeated Arina Rodionova 5-7, 6-1, 6-0 yesterday to win a wildcard tournament to qualify for January’s Australian Open. Dellacqua, the Australian No. 2 behind Samantha Stosur, will be making her 11th Australian Open appearance. Her best showing came in 2008 when she reached the last 16 at Melbourne Park. In the men’s final of the Australian-only tournament, Jordan Thompson overcame a comeback attempt by Ben Mitchell to beat the former Wimbledon junior finalist 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 4-6, 6-1. The 19-year-old Thompson qualified for his first Australian Open.
