Hewitt and Scud start hardcourt season
Hewitt and Scud start hardcourt season
Lleyton Hewitt and Mark Philippoussis will ease their way into the
American hardcourt season when they team in the doubles at the
Mercedes-Benz Cup in Los Angeles.
Both will be playing for the first time since Wimbledon when they
take on South African Wayne Ferreira and American Jim Gimelstob.
The two Australians open their singles campaign on Wednesday with
Hewitt, the top seed, up against American Cecil Mamiit.
Philippoussis, who broke back into the world's top 20 when the
latest rankings were released on Monday, is seeded fifth and playing
little-known compatriot Adam Kennedy in his first match since losing
the Wimbledon final to Roger Federer.
Andrew Ilie is the only other Australian in the 32-man singles draw
and takes on American Bobby Ginepri in the first round.
Hewitt and Philippoussis will also both contest the Tennis Masters
Series tournaments in Montreal and Cincinnati before heading to
New York for the US Open starting on August 25.
Hewitt, who has slipped to No.5 in the world after becoming
Wimbledon's first defending champion of the open era to bow out
in the first round, has reached the semi-finals or better at the
past three US Opens.
