All quotes by Mark Philippoussis:

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.
