Dokic's dream teeters with loss in wild card playoffs Melbourne, Australia  - Jelena Dokic will have to fight to keep her tennis dream alive after losing to a Brisbane teenager Tuesday in the wild card playoffs for next month's Australian Open.

Former world number four Dokic lost on the second day of play at Melbourne Park, falling to Monica Wejnert 4-6, 6-3, 6-4.

"She's probably the highest ranked I've beaten so far in my career, so it's great," the winner said. "I was a bit nervous coming in, but then I stabilized and it was good."
