By Barry Newcombe Mark Philippoussis v Andy Roddick: First Meeting The Centre Court offers some high octane combat with Roddick, who has won the Stella Artois title for the past two years, taking on the 1997 champion Philippoussis. Both men know what it is like to finish runner-up at Wimbledon to Roger Federer-Philippoussis in 2003 and Roddick last year-but by no means have they given up the hunt. Today marks the first meeting between the Texas-based second seed Roddick, 22, and the Miami-based Australian Philippoussis, 28, who had a wild card entry into the tournament. Philippoussis was encouraged by that gesture after a series of injury problems and he claims that he has done "everything I possibly can in my control" to work on his fitness during enforced absences. Roddick has also had some injury concerns and will be delighted to be back on grass after losing in the first round of the French Open. Verdict: Roddick to look for a hard-serving win ============================================================ AR加油加油加油 --
