[shadows]

Hewitt showing what it means to have been there and done that.

Let's serve it out this time!

 

[Dutch-Guy]

he has to hold now to win,something he failed to do before.

Typo.I edited my post.

 

[grafrules]

C'mooonnnn!!!

 

[bolo]

I'd drop my pants for Hewitt in a second....wait what?

lol. 10 char.

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

Come on mirza is better looking than bec! Have to stay consistent!

Not very keen on Mirza but Bec on the other hand is right up my alley.

 

[malakas]

come on the hardserving australian!!!

lol

 

[zebano]

Come ON!!!

Radio Wimbledon picked up Hewitt's scream after that break. As exciting a match as I've ever listened to.

 

[Love Game]

I'd drop my pants for Hewitt's wife in a second just though I would say that.

at which point she'd fall out laughing and pointing

 

[skip1969]

the hitting has been brutal these last few games.

 

[Cesc Fabregas]

What can I say its his blonde hair.

 

[grafrules]

2 points away!

 

[Dutch-Guy]

[Sentinel]

People are using the term choke too often here these days.

DUH !!! I thought

choke = broke

 

[norbac]

Come on Rocky, just one more point.

 

[bolo]

the hitting has been brutal these last few games.

he's really upped the pace. Nice saves by hewitt in the last 2 points.

 

[skip1969]

delpo is hitting harder now, but hewitt just getting everything back.

 

[zagor]

2 MPs for Rocky.

 

[malakas]

at which point she'd fall out laughing and pointing

ooops rusty DF

 

[Dutch-Guy]

Hewitt through.Congrats.

 

[malakas]

yes!!! COME ON Lleyton!!

 

[zebano]

Hewit moves on!

 

[tennis08tarheels]

Consider me flabbergasted.

 

[norbac]

What can I say its his blonde hair.

The way he makes you feel when he talks to you. It's like you're the only one there....just like Delpo just felt.

 

[grafrules]

Woohoo Rusty!! Strike one for the old gaurd yet again. Just like Wimbledon last year with Safin vs Djokovic.

 

[shadows]

C'mooonnnnn!!!

absolutely brilliant from Hewitt, gave DelPo something of a lesson out there today

 

[skip1969]

well, great win for hewitt. delpo is just still struggling on the grass. there's no doubt about that.

 

[malakas]

Hewitt through.Congrats.

repeating ourselves I see?

that wasn't such a big suprise really.I never expected Del Potro to go deep here.

 

[zagor]

And Rocky takes it,wasn't expecting this at all but am very glad to see him play great again.A big win for him today.

 

[bolo]

wow an impressive win. Hewitt played great. JMDP didn't play bad but beaten by the better grasscourter.

 

[DarthFed]

Old Rusty takes it 6-3.7-5.7-5 for the upset..go figure

 

[malakas]

The way he makes you feel when he talks to you. It's like you're the only one there....just like Delpo just felt.

and the rumour he has...

 

[muser]

is hewitt doing an agassi and producing at the end of his career.

 

[skip1969]

oh . . . yeah . . . thanks lleyton for keeping my bracket intact.

 

[jaggy]

Pretty open up top

 

[Dutch-Guy]

repeating ourselves I see?

Yes.My grammar is very limited

that wasn't such a big suprise really.I never expected Del Potro to go deep here.

Seeing how he toyed with Fed in FO,i thought he 'd go deep her. Unfortunately...

 

[fedtastic]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I predicted Delpotro in 5 but I am glad I was proved wrong. Great performance by the old guy and his movement and serve were perfect today.

Where is the weak era debate now?

 

[VetoRight]

Ok, congrat for hewitt. Now time to watch ivanovic

 

[muser]

DP was very flat of foot in this game. if he wants to go further he's going to have to adjust. something mcenroe remarked on.

 

[iriraz]

Today won the better grass court player.Fair and square.Del Potro doesn`t have enough experience on this surface to be a contender yet while Hewitt can get a good result here as his draw has opened up.

 

[SikSerb]

Well done to Hewitt beating Del Potro 6-3 7-5 7-5. Hope he goes far in Wimbledon this year.

 

[grafrules]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is the weak era debate now?

Amazing how the supposably weak Roddick, Safin, Nalbandian, and Hewitt well past their primes are still having success vs the supposably way more talented new generation players like Djokovic, Murray, and Del Potro. Especialy Safin and Hewitt who are less than half what they used to be but can still take out 1 of those guys at the last 2 Wimbledons.

 

[Love Game]

grats to hewitt for beating a top fiver once again ..... he's peaking nicely so far!

============

boo hoo for juan martin ..... wonder where he'll be off to next? (probably far away from grass! :wink

 

[zagor]

Don't forget Gonzo taking out Murray in the FO and reaching semis.

 

[westside]

Well this has just made my day!!

I'm pumped about this result. I really wanna see Hewitt go far

 

[grafrules]

Don't forget Gonzo taking out Murray in the FO and reaching semis.

Yeah it is funny how people when running down Fed's past draws to win the FO refer to Gonzo as a "joke" or an "easy draw" who Sampras would supposably be crusing to FO finals if he faced, LOL! Yet Federer was lucky to win the FO this year since he avoided people like the great clay courter Murray, the same one an aging Gonzo overpowered and schooled on clay. Go figure.

Yes but doesn't it depress us also a bit. Where are the new Rafa's and Federer's - Hewitt was amazing - really well done

 

[jamesblakefan#1]

Congrats to Hewitt!

And can't we save the weak era debate for another time, and just be happy for a big win for LH?
