both these two have similar games. theyre both retrieving counter punchers with amazing wheels but nothing other than their consistency as their weapons. so what im wondering is how chang lost his competitive ability yet hewitt was able to win two majors and hit world number 1 around the same time chang was retiring in 01 and 02? i assume chang was being hit off the court but then why not was hewitt even though hewitt played and beat guys like sampras, davydenko, blake, haas, nalbandian and hewitt beat these same guys chang had lost to: federer, krajicek, roddick, scrichphan, phillipoussis, moya, and schalken.
chang was older and slower than hewitt but i wonder if that was the reason. now hewitt is falling off as chang did and i start to think there will never be another retriever type player who can win a major or become number one BUT if hewitt could replace chang, then it stands to reason another player could replace hewitt. could the complete dominance of heavy hitters from here on just be a myth? i think so if you look at the rise and fall of chang and hewitt.
thoughts?
