If you enjoy these quotes, be sure to check out other famous athletes! More John Newcombe on Wikipedia.You would start to wonder how he is going to get into the tournaments with his ranking [currently at No. 208].
So he has to overcome this attitude and go out on the court and say: 'Roger, I don't care what I'm going to have to do ... if I have to rip your throat out I'm going to beat you.
He hasn't been doing that well against Roger lately. It will be tough though he's not that far away from the top of his game.
There was kind of a code that you had as an Australian that you never left the court losing unless you had blood all over you. That's the sort of toughness you need to compete on the world stage and I feel that our kids today just don't have it.
Things will get pretty serious if he (Philippoussis) doesn't get something going by the end of the year.
