AI explanation

Roger Federer won his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003, defeating Mark Philippoussis in the final. Philippoussis, a big-serving Australian, was Federer's opponent in that decisive match, making this the correct answer to 'who did he defeat en route to (and including) his first title.' Andy Roddick, Lleyton Hewitt, and Rafael Nadal were rivals Federer faced in later matches/tournaments (Nadal's era with Federer began a bit later, around 2004 onward), but none of them were his opponent in that specific 2003 Wimbledon final.
