Former Wimbledon and US Open runner-up Mark Philippoussis has withdrawn from next week's Australian Open because of injury.

Philippoussis tore his adductor muscle during last week's Hopman Cup in Perth and withdrew from this week's Sydney International.
The big-serving Philippoussis slipped down the world rankings after winning only 11 matches last year. But Australian Open organisers had said they would give him a wildcard entry if he did not make the field on his ranking.
