Great win by Blake but what's up with Hewitt's serve? It was failing him at AO too.

Excellent win by James! i think he thoroughly deserved it. The match cheered me up after the disappointing match by RF the other day.

I've always thought that James' game matched up well against Hewitt's. He's been so close on so many occassions to beating him, but failing in guts every time.
I'm glad that James went into the match with the attitude that he could and should win. And low and behold, he beat the abuntantly unlikable Hewitt. I couldn't be happier. |

Considering the history of these two players--that racial comment in reference to the black linesman at the US Open a few years ago, I was surprised that Blake called Hewitt one of the greatest of "all-time" in his post-match comments. Hewitt is no where in the league of the great Aussies like Laver, Rosewall, Emerson, Newcombe, or Fraser.

Hewitt was on his way. He was #1 for a while, won a few Grand Slams, went away, came back and almost won the Australian on guts alone, was beating everyone except Federer...and now he's a shadow of himself. He's in the top 20 greatest of all time to me. That's still an achievement.

If hewitt's backhand was better there would be less pressure on the rest of his game. He needs to develop a backhand that he can thump consistently. Beats me why he hasnt hired a proper coach to fix his backhand.
