Junior Wimbledon Champion Ashleigh Barty Will Play Olivia Rogowska

Junior Wimbledon champion Ashleigh Barty will play Olivia Rogowska for a place in the main draw of the Australian Open on Sunday.

The 15-year-old booked her place in the host nation's wildcard play-off final thanks to a 7-5 6-3 victory over Arina Rodionova in Melbourne.

Barty, who last week won the Austalian under-18 title, has yet to drop a set in the play-off tournament.

She will play Rogowska, last year's winner, after she beat Bojana Bobusic 6-4 7-5.

In the men's final, James Duckworth will face off against Marinko Matosevic.

Duckworth beat top seed Greg Jones 5-7 6-2 6-4 on Saturday, while Matosevic also came from a set down to beat Michael Look 4-6 6-3 6-0.

Sunday's two winners will be handed a wildcard into next month's opening Grand Slam tournament of the season.
