Professional career

2009
She received a wild card into the 2009 Australian Open where she lost in the 1st round to the 31st seed Alona Bondarenko, 7–5, 3–6, 2–6.[2]
She then received a wildcard into the 2009 French Open and defeated Maria Kirilenko in the first round in straight sets. In the second round she lost to Kateryna Bondarenko[2] 4-6,7-5,7-5.
After gaining another wild card entry into the 2009 U.S. Open, Olivia almost caused a major upset in her first round match, taking world number 1 and top seed Dinara Safina to three sets. She won the first set 7–6 in a tie breaker and lead 3–0 in the final set before Rogowska's nerves set in and Safina made her comeback losing 7–6, 2–6, 4–6.
At the wild cards for the 2010 Australian Open Rogowska barely made the quarterfinal rounds by losing 2 out of 3 matches in the round robin stage, she only made it through by one game. In the Quarter and Semi finals Rogowska beat Monika Wejnert and Jessica Moore in straight sets, in the final Rogowska lead Casey Dellacqua 6–1, 5–2 and held three match points before Dellacqua came back to win 1–6, 7–6, 6–3.
2010
Rogowska played her first tournament in the 2010 Brisbane International defeating Anastasia Yakimova in the first qualifying round, before losing to Evgenia Rodina. That began an 11 match losing streak, including a 3 set loss to Sorana Cirstea at the Australian Open. She ended her losing streak in May reaching the quarterfinals of $50,000+H Saint-Gaudens, losing to Kaia Kanepi. She continued to find moderate success in ITF challengers, while losing her first qualifying matches at the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. Rogowska found form late in the year, winning the $25,000 Cairns doubles title, then the $25,000 Darwin singles title, followed by a semifinal at the $25,000 event in Alice Springs. She is now representing Australia at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, reaching the semifinals in singles where she lost to India's Sania Mirza 1–6 6–4 6–4, meaning she was relegated to the Bronze medal playoff where she lost to compatriot Sally Peers. She also made the doubles final with Jessica Moore and will play for the gold medal.
