Can anyone tell me what's happening in the tennis??? Lleyton Hewitt was supposed to be playing at 10:00am (AEST) - is it over? Did he win?

Not that I particularly like him (I prefer Pat Rafter, like most people, I guess), but I would like to see an Aussie win the tournament (just to make it slightly interesting).

I'm at work, with no access to a tv - so can anyone else help out?

But won the 2nd 6-4

cheers...

Come on Lleyton! He may not be Pat but he's still an Aussie.

Really good. Hewitt had the upperhand and then Roddick. Going to be a close fifth set. I have a feeling Hewitt will come back and pull it off.

Is it Thursday night (Friday morning) there.
Hope you don't have to work today C1; you'll be a tired chap.

They certainly play their tennis at wacko times; imagine an AFL game finishing at 1.00am. It's all driven by the networks I suppose.
