Alexander backs Scud for Davis Cup - Tennis - Sport - theage.com.au |
 | | Mark Philippoussis is capable of returning to the top 10 and should be recalled to Australia's Davis Cup team for the semi-final against Argentina in Buenos Aires in September, according to former cup stalwart John Alexander. |
 | | Philippoussis' Davis Cup career has had more emotional extremes than a penalty shootout, and the blowing out of his ATP singles ranking past 200 means that, without a continuing supply of wildcards, the 29-year-old must return to qualifying rounds and the Challenger circuit. |
 | | Davis Cup captain John Fitzgerald has maintained that Philippoussis remains in the selection mix, despite overlooking him for the Hewitt-less first round in Geneva against Switzerland and the quarter-final against Belarus at Kooyong. |
