Casey Dellacqua and Bernard Tomic are Australia's two coveted wildcards into the main draw at the French Open. Dellacqua, who made her tournament comeback in February after about a year out with injuries, will join compatriots world No.6 Samantha Stosur, Jarmila Gajdosova (No.31), Anastasia Rodionova (No.62) and Jelena Dokic (No.75) in the women's field in Paris for the year's second grand slam event starting on May 22. Currently ranked world No.174, Tomic's wildcard follows a promising start to the year for the 18-year-old.
After qualifying for the Sydney International in January with three straight set wins against top 100 players, he went to the Australian Open and reached the third round before losing to world No.1 Rafael Nadal.
The wildcards are part of a reciprocal agreement between the French Tennis Federation and TA, which allows the French federation to select two French players for the Australian Open.
