Mark Philippoussis Quotations

It can only get better and things can't happen overnight, the only thing I can do is just keep working hard and I know it's going to happen.

The Australian Open attracts one of the most competitive line-ups in the world and I’m looking forward to putting the heat on some of my old on-court rivals.

Up a set and 2-0 it's definitely a situation where a little match practice would've helped, so I'm disappointed but think I can take some positives from the first set and the start of the second.

I'm the underdog, but know what I'm capable of.

I have nothing to prove to anyone. I only play for myself.

It's been a few months where I've been watching that match sometimes and try to think back on how I felt on the court, what I was thinking,

I feel like I've been in this sort of situation before, not ranking-wise, but coming back from surgeries where it's been a long way back. This is just another thing where I'm going to have to work harder. I'm working hard. I'm just going to keep working hard and sooner or later it's going to pay off.

I was trying. I went out there and gave it everything.

I'm very happy, a win is a win. The first match is always tough. It's just good to get back out on the court and get that monkey off my shoulders.

I'm just concentrating on that first match. That's the only thing I've got my mind on.
