Mark Philippoussis denies giving Mark Latham MP free Wimbledon tickets

·

Former tennis star Mark Philippoussis has disputed MP Mark Latham’s claim that he provided him free tickets to Wimbledon, as noted in Latham’s official gift declarations.

According to records, Latham declared receiving tickets from “M. Philippoussis” on July 7 and July 12 last year.

However, Philippoussis’ spokesperson told The Daily Telegraph that “Mark doesn’t recall supplying Mark Latham with any tickets as he doesn’t know him on a personal level. He doesn’t have a relationship with Mr Latham at all.”

Latham’s declaration of Wimbledon access is just one in a series of free tickets he has reportedly enjoyed since entering NSW Parliament in 2019.

The outspoken politician, known for his criticism of corporate hospitality, has allegedly accepted more than 90 complimentary tickets to sporting events.
