A San Diego County sheriff's official says the father of a retired Australian tennis star has been arrested on suspicion of molesting two children, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. The newspaper says Nikolaos Philippoussis, 68, a tennis coach, was taken into custody at his home on Tuesday, July 25, 2017. The Union-Tribune reports that officials said the two victims were under age 14 and were students of Philippoussis. Mark Philippoussis was once ranked eighth in the world.
