是说最近流行复出吗XD
继Andy Roddick之说要复出打双打后,
另一位发球大炮澳洲的Mark Philippoussis也宣布以38岁高龄复出单打比赛。
(年轻一辈的球迷大概不知道他是谁了)
他在下月的Hall of Fame巡回赛将持外卡参加单打会外赛,
他生涯最后一座单打冠军就是2006年在这个比赛取得。
他生涯拿下11座单打冠军,并在98年美网和03年温网取得亚军,
后来因膝伤退役,这几年偶尔会在元老组比赛插花。
他暂时好像还没宣布是否全面复出。
Philippoussis poised for tennis comeback
Australian two-time grand-slam finalist Mark Philippoussis plans to make his
return to the ATP Tour as a wildcard entry in the qualifying draw for next
month's Hall of Fame championship.
The Aussie, who once boasted one of the hardest serves in world tennis, has
been out of the game for almost a decade.
The 38-year-old, born in Melbourne, will make his comeback on July 11 when
qualifying begins, organisers announced on Friday. The main draw begins two
days later.
His last career title came in 2006 when he defeated Justin Gimelstob in the
final of the Newport tournament. He retired that year.
Philippoussis won 11 career titles, reached a career-high ranking of world
No.8 and earned almost $US7 million ($A9 million) in prize money since
turning pro in 1994. At one time or another, he defeated most of the game's
top players in his era.
He also made the finals at Wimbledon in 2003 and the 1998 US Open. His
biggest singles title was at Indian Wells and he helped Australia capture two
Davis Cup crowns.
