I'm also hoping to be in bed by 2:30am... I haven't managed to watch a live match all tournament! Time different sucks.

****, why do I have to work on Sundays. All the good sporting events are on Saturday nights.

great nite, carlton v brisbane, aussies v korea in soccer ( not that i really care) and hewitt v fed

 

[Kaan]

Federer is killing it from the start.

My interest in this tournament has fired up with a Lleyton vs FedEx match at a reasonable time.

1-1 early on.

 

[Drummond]

Federer 6-3, 6-3, 6-4.

Who cares.

Won't drop a set all tournament.

C'mon Oudin, Cirstea, Djokovic and Querrey today.

 

[that_dood]

Hewitt blows three break points.

2-1 Fed.

 

[SBI]

Haha how easily did he save himself three break points?

Would love Lleyton to take a set off him, but agreed with Drummond that it'll be comfortable in three for Federer.

Fed goes from 30-0 on the Hewitt server to a break point. Fact is when Federer will need to win a point today, he will. Just can turn it on when required. Would like to see Hewitt take a set, in fact I do have money on Fed in 4, but I think that Federer will be too good overall.

Hewitt levels at 2-2.

 

[that_dood]

Good save by Hewitt now. 2-2

Hewitt needs to attack the net more often. Needs to dominate the points.

 

[that_dood]

Awesome lob by Fed, brings up 3 break points...and he breaks 4-2.

 

[SBI]

Pretty awesome shot by Federer at 0-30 there. Gets the break.

 

[Kaan]

Federer must really respect Hewitt.... he always turns it on against him.

 

[that_dood]

Hewitt somehow gets it to deuce, and now Roger doubles!!!!

Carn Lleyton.

WOOHOOO Onya Hewitt. Make a game of this!!!

4-3 on serve.

 

[pepsi]

Hewitt down 40-0 in Fed's service game, gets it back to deuce, then breaks him back. 4-3 on serve. Good fight back in that game from Lleyton.

 

[watermelonslice]

Forehand errors from Federer keeps Hewitt in the match. On serve 4-3 for Federer.

 

[ashley12]

One player races out to a 40-0 lead on serve, before the excellence of the other grits it out and wins the next 5 points straight to take the break....

Oh, by the way, that was Hewitts break

Cmon Lleyton

 

[that_dood]

Easy hold to 4-4. Tight first set this.

 

[gloryandfame]

4-4, come on Lleyton!

 

[Drummond]

Federer's serve. Sampras who? Seriously it's the most underrated shot in tennis history. Every single freaking time he needs a cheap point he gets it.

 

[that_dood]

Another double and two more breaks...but Fed saves them.

Fed making a lot of errors in this match. Lleyton needs to get this set while Roger is down.

 

[that_dood]

Fed's forehand has turned to jelly and Lleyton breaks to 5-4!!!!

Serve it out now Lletyon.

 

[gloryandfame]

Hewitt serving for the set
