Hewitt is a hack

[Dr Awkward]

At their best, all of those bar Muster were better players. Hewitt obviously has been far more consistent though over the journey.

Dude how can you possibly say that Ferrero at his best was better than Hewitt? Both of them were at their best at the same time and Hewitt had the superior record and was No. 1 ahead of Ferrero for a long time. I can barely think of any stage throughout Ferrero's career where he would go into a match against Hewitt as favourite (excluding clay).


As for Moya and Rios, there is no contest there Hewitt had a superior record over Moya during his prime. Not sure about Muster but I doubt he was better.

I would also rate Hewitt's career above Roddick's.

I dont think Hewitt could have asked for much more from his career he has never been the most talented player or had many big weapons, what helped him was his speed and his attitude of never giving up.

There has been many players that have had way more talent of Hewitt and havent done as much.

If anything i say Hewitt has over achievet over is career and would be very happy in what he has done.

This is exactly right. Hewitt has made the most out of himself. I know people who played junior tennis against him and he wasnt much chop then apparently.

The only reason he got to number 1 was sheer will and determination (that and having a psychopath father).

You have to admire him but he is not at all likeable. Annoying to watch and a brat, sooks when things dont go his way. The "c'mon" chant is done purely to annoy opponents.

Hewitt beat Federer a few times earlier in their career, particularly that Davis Cup capitulation which really stung Federer. I think thats why Fed always plays his best against Hewitt.
