Tennis fans fumed over Mark Philippoussis' comments Former tennis player believes that tennis players today are not as tough and as competitive as they were when he was on the tour. Mark Philippoussis is a former Australian professional tennis player. His two Davis Cup victories with Australia in 1999 and 2003 — winning the decisive rubber in each final — are his finest achievements. Furthermore, he advanced to the singles finals of the 1998 US Open and the 2003 Wimbledon, losing both of them. The Australian even attained a career-high singles ranking of No. 8 in the world. Philippoussis stated that he and other players during his time just apologized and went on after smashing the ball at an opponent, joking that players nowadays have to write emails and Instagram posts to repent instead. "These guys are talented and incredible athletes, but, my god, are they soft!" Philippoussis said, adding, "When I had a short ball, I went right at the guy, always. You say sorry and you move on. Now it's like, you've got to send an email to apologize, and texts and Instagram posts. Go at him again, hit him again." Flip has spoken
