Mark Philipoussis managed 12 aces in yet another comeback to tennis, But the effort at a minor Challenger event in Dallas still resulted in a 6-4, 6-4 loss to 161st-ranked American Michael Yani.
The match was the first at the Tour level for the former Wimbledon and US Open finalist since a Challenger in Hawaii in November, 2006. The 33 year-old played in the Hopman Cup in early 2007, but suffered another in his never-ending run of knee injuries - now totaling three operations per side.
One-time No. 8 Philippoussis is somehow hoping against the odds to get back into the game at the ATP level. "I'm a long way away from that happening, but that's what I'm working toward."
Philippoussis has dropped a few kilograms in recent attempts to ease strain on his knees, now weighing 93 kg, four down from his former playing weight. "It's all physical for me, the hitting part was never the problem," he told Australian media. "I have to be as physically fit and strong as I am capable of being.''
