Scud shoots for Wimbledon Adrian Proszenko / December 5, 2010 MARK PHILIPPOUSSIS is planning a shock Wimbledon comeback. Sources close to Philippoussis have told The Sun-Herald the "Scud" is plotting a return to the professional ranks at the All England Club, the scene of his 2003 final loss to Swiss maestro Roger Federer. Philippoussis gave the first indication he was serious about another crack at the big time after winning a Champion Series event in October. "I've just fallen back in love with the sport on the Champions Series,” Philippoussis said after thrashing former World No.1 Jim Courier in the final at Arizona. And while there are no plans to contest January's Australian Open, it is understood the 34-year-old has his sights set on the third major of 2011. 根据某位神秘人士透露消息来源，Mark有可能选择在明年温网复出， 他曾在2003年闯入温网决赛，最终输给Roger Federer。 他在10月份参加於亚利桑那州举行的Champions Series比赛夺得冠军，尽管对手 多半都是已退休选手，但他本人似乎因此找回了对这项运动的热情。 消息来源猜测，Mark不选在澳网复出，是因为他把目标锁定在他最爱的温网场地。 "He wants to make his comeback at Wimbledon," the source said. "His mentality and approach is quite different to what it has been in the past. He's matured and realises he never fulfilled his potential. He is very dedicated at the moment. He is adamant that he still has something to prove to people." 他的技术和心理层面都不同於以往，他变得成熟，且了解自己还具有潜力， 他正处在一个微妙的时刻，坚决地想向世人证明这点。 The precociously talented Philippoussis accumulated 11 tournament wins, reached a career-high world ranking of No.8 and led Australia to two Davis Cup titles. Attitude and injury problems – he has had six major knee operations – have prevented him from reaching the heights many expected. Mark生涯共计拿下11座巡回赛冠军，最高世界排名来到第8位，曾带领澳大利亚 拿下2座台维斯盃冠军。但他对网球的态度和伤势问题，成了他取得更好成绩的障碍， 他的膝盖至今已动过6次手术， After practising with Andy Roddick for five days in September, the American star believed Philippoussis could mount an ATP return. "There's no question he could come out and win some matches," Roddick said in a recent interview. "It's just a matter of if he could stay healthy – and that's the big if. He's certainly capable." 大Andy在9月份有和Mark一同练习了5天，他相信Mark可以回到ATP打球。 "毫无疑问地，Mark绝对能够再赢下几场比赛，但健康问题会是首要考量，我相信他可以。" Courier said: "When Mark plays well and he plays that first-strike tennis, he can play with anybody." As a former Wimbledon finalist, officials could give him a wildcard. Courier则表示，当Mark状况好时，足以当任何人的对手。 重点是，若Mark参加温网，以过去曾获得亚军的记录，赛事官方会乐意给他外卡。 Despite earning $7 million prize money during his pro career, Philippoussis has run into financial problems. He was hit with a bankruptcy notice after defaulting on the mortgage for his home in Williamstown, in Melbourne's south-west. Money is not the only motivating factor in his bid to return to the pro tour. "He could probably earn $500,000 just from playing the Champions Series," the source said. "It's about what he wants out of life. He is training really hard and is in a really good head space." 神秘人士也谈到Mark最近的财务危机，他说，Mark刚从Champions Series抱得 50万美金而归，钱对他来说不是问题，当然他也不单单为此理由而复出， 而是关系到他想要什麽样的人生，他现在很努力地练习，同时也思考他的未来。 http://tinyurl.com/28pv863 当然 以上没有确切消息来源　本人也没对外发表　一切只是听说～ --
