I've been surprised by his demeanour and state of mind when watching him on the sidelines as Davis cup coach. He barely seems interested, there's none of his famous passion, he doesn't seem engaged at all. He doesn't really seem to be giving much advice at the changeovers and the player doesn't seem to be listening to him anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if something comes out about him suffering depression or something. Has anyone else noticed this?
Is Lleyton Hewitt alright?

This is the funniest thread of the day. Slow weekend.
Look, I'm just really concerned about the mental state of Hewitt and I think we all should be rallying around him.

Can we start a gofundme to support Lleyton’s training for the champion’s tour?

The lawnmower probably just needs a tuneup.
Seriously, the guy had a great playing career, has been married for nearly 20 years, has three kids and properties all over the world. Such a tough life, it’s no wonder he occasionally exhibits “signs” of depression.
smh

Money can't buy happiness. Only a better form of unhappiness.

Terrible take on a working relationship. I would be depressed if I had your pessimism about the potential rewards of loving the partner you take in sickness and in health.

I would be bored as hell too if I won slams and my career is reduced to sitting on the sidelines coaching overprivileged, spoiled, mouthy kids

You need to remember that Hewitt is a bogan wanker who could play tennis.

Maybe he's grumpy because he couldn't take over Pat Rafter's crown as the eminent Bonds underwear model. 
From all reports he was certainly better equipped than Rafter in that regard so I can understand why he may have been annoyed hahaMaybe he's grumpy because he couldn't take over Pat Rafter's crown as the eminent Bonds underwear model.

I think his passion is probably more directed towards helping his son, not taking anything away from his dedication to TA commitments.
I think the way Davis Cup has been changed ( butchered) to its current iteration has devalued its prestige and validity and Davis Cup has always held a special part of Australian tennis culture and indeed a wider Australian sporting culture. Therefore I can understand many people being disenchanted with the current format.
