Round 1 2003 


Ashes all over again?

Australia defeated Great Britain 4-1

February 7-9 Homebush NSW Australia

 

Lleyton Hewitt, Mark Philippoussis, Wayne Arthurs and Todd Woodbridge took on a depleted British team. The tie, played on clay to negate the talents of Rusedski and Henman, was a straight forward  victory for Australia as the two top Brits had been sidelined with injuries. Bogdanovic, a young British player shows great talent and promise.
