Lost in straight sets to Roger-Vasselin

Yeah, looks like he may have been ill, was calling the trainer a lot. Really opens up teh draw for Lleyton now, no excuse for not making the semis.

 

[matt_897]

Hewitt won his match 6-1 7-5
Bit of a struggle in the 2nd, was down a break 0-3, but he got it back.

Plays the winner of Santoro-Golubev next, then a probable QF match up with Del Potro.

Watched a bit of Lleyton's match, he was fairly passive in that second set, was playing a few meters behind the baseline in some points but Ito was no real trouble for him. Hopefully Lleyton can make use of this draw, it's a 500 event so it would really help.

Roddick lost to Kubot, oh dear.

 

[Chris_2593]

Hewitt won 6-3 6-0.

 

[matt_897]

Hewitt faces Youzhny in the semis, it'll be tough but hopefully he can sneak through, valuable points that would be. Has a good record against him with his last win coming last year. Depends if Wawrinka wins this match against monfils but if Lleyton makes the final, he could be top 20.

Monfils won in a 3 sets 6-3 in the third.

 

[matt_897]

Monfils won in a 3 sets 6-3 in the third.

Then if Hewitt wins tomorrow he should be at least 20 It would be huge if he could win this title, then a couple solid results in these Masters 1000 events and then he can sneak into top 16 come the end of the year.

Monfils will play Tsonga in the other semi. Noticed Cilic beat Davydenko in Beijing today today, Nadal has still got to play Safin tonight

 

[Kaan]

Safin beat Gonzalez wouldn't be suprised if he beats Nadal.

Never know which Safin will show up.

 

[Chris_2593]

Hewitt lost the first set 2-6 hopefully he can come back.

[scooterselwood]

Im watching a stream Hewitt 2-3 serving in the third 15-30.

Is this the idiot that hit himself in the head with a racquet once and made himself bleed?

 

[OzBomber]

Do they have 3rd set tiebreakers? I never watch ATP tournaments.

[youtube]fi-CgSO9Evw[/youtube]

it is him. from memory he used to be in the top 10, start of last year maybe a bit later. unseeded here.

 

[scooterselwood]

hewitt serving to stay in the match 4-5

 

[OzBomber]

Shit serving means Youznhny is 2 points from victory.

Edit: Hewitt loses. 6-2 5-7 7-5. Heaps of unforced errors in that last serving game.

 

[matt_897]

Tough loss for Hewitt, would of been huge to get a title here.

 

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

Cillic thrashes Nadal 1 and 3 in Beijing.

What injury was it this time?

Going to have to ask Total Power that one.

 

[matt_897]

What injury was it this time?

Beaten by a better player These two thumpings by Del Potro and Cilic is a very interesting sign.

Shanghai draw has come out, Hewitt faces Isner, big serves have troubled him lately. Assume there will be a thread made about it

 

[Drummond]

Future's tournament in Port Pirie starting tomorrow.

Some interesting names about, Greg Jones, Smeets and....Todd Reid!

Maybe I should go? Not like I have anything else better to do.

Sophie Ferguson and Anastasia Rodionova both made it through qualifying in Osaka. Stosur is the 3rd seed and has a tough 1st round opponent in Peng from China. The way Sam is playing at the moment you would have Peng as the favourite.

Sadly, i agree with you

 

[matt_897]

Luckily, she had to play a LL in Panova and Sam is through to the 2nd round, 6-2, 6-4

 

[Chris_2593]

Stosur took out the first set 6-1 against Akiko Morigami from Japan and leads 3-1 in the second set.
