The Hellenic Tennis Association is proud to have the support of Davis Cup hero Mark Philippoussis.

Nick Philippoussis was pleased with HTA in organising the tournament for the Greek community in Australia.

Mark Philippoussis said in a recent statement.
By supporting the Hellenic Australian Tennis Championships I hope to encourage talented Greek Australians playing for the "Mark Philippoussis Cup" to reach their potential and to showcase their talents to the sporting world. I commend the Hellenic Tennis Association for organising the Hellenic Australian Tennis Championships. It’s a great initiative to promote the game of tennis to the Greek community in Australia. By holding the tennis event it is an opportunity to bring together Greeks from all over Australia.
