| Grs, you have got to be kidding... not sure where you're getting this from. Roddick was not hungover - "While the American's supposed night of drinking was nothing more than a night out in London to see the film 'The Hangover'" http://au.sports.yahoo.com/tennis/news/article/-/5 681766/wimbledonroddick-exposed-rick-astley-fan |

| me too Nico Del Potro has a great future. Hewitt has a heart of gold and it still shows. Wish him all the best for the rest of the tournament.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hello...Am sooo happy for Lleyton but would've loved to see Del Pottro do good at Wimbledon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Normally I would have thought Roddick would beat Hewitt. However, reading today, and admitted to by Roddick, he turned up for his first match hung over from a night out drinking. Hardly the behaviour of someone that expects us to take him seriously. Go Hewitt but I think Murray will take you down that is assuming that they both get that far. Anything can happen at Wimbledon | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Maybe, but it was good enough at Queens... They always have tough matches, because their styles are so different. I hope the match happens, it'd be a barnburner. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I'd give Hewitt a good chance of beating Roddick - the man is a one-trick pony, and that trick isn't that decisive against Lleyton. Murray will be a big challenge. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I think Roddick in the quarters, Murray in the semis, Federer in the final, assuming the seeds win through (and so far they all have, almost without exception). He really should make the quarters without too much trouble. Roddick will be tough, Murray tougher. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| David Ferrer perhaps?! Ordinarily a good baseline player but not on grass. But then, the grasscourts this year are said to be a lot slower than they were last year. So you can never tell. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Who is he likely to meet in the quarters (if he gets there?). I see no reason why he can't beat most players - only really a match against Federer would I consider Lleyton not having a chance with. He is as gutsy as they come, and a guy like Lleyton should never be written off. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Great win by Hewitt, no matter what anyone says! The guy is starting to hit some real form after an injury ridden couple of seasons.. CMOONN Leyton back to the top 10 for ya mate!!! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh come on M.O.N At times Juan del Potro looked like a Mug out there against Hewitt. Wonder if they even have any grasscourts in his country. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yes, I over-estimated Del Potro's grass court expertise. I just thought with the big serve and groundies, he would outhit Lleyton, but Hewitt counter-punched very well. Hewitt is certainly in good enough form to make the quarters here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hello... So good that Hewitt won because too many critics would have been on his case and writing he should retire. Del Potro is going to recover from this and will be a better player on grass next year, I think so. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hewitt did as you suggested but the results were not what you expected - victory over a top 5 player - a reason for his "c'mon!" this time. Interesting too that del Potro has so much respect for Hewitt, unlike some posters here. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Should be a great match. Hewitt should use the backhand slice a lot, keep it low and make Del Potro generate the pace. Expect JMDP to win, but it'll be worth watching. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Heweys through to second round v Del Potro. Solid match 64 61 61 If hewey can get past del potro he is a shoein for the QFs |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cahill has come out today saying that he believes Hewitt will get back in the top 10. CMONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNN CMONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNN CMMONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNN |

| said imstrine "You have to ask yourself the question "Should he pay Australian Tax on money he hasn't earnt in Australia" ?", Good point. Can you e-mail that to David Koche. |

| LLEYTON Hewitt has set up an overseas base in the Bahamas. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,255 58547-3162,00.html Many in tennis circles have wondered why he didn't do this a decade ago when the BIG money started to roll in when Dad was in charge. You have to ask yourself the question "Should he pay Australian Tax on money he hasn't earnt in Australia" ? Tennis players at Hewitt's level can play 80% of their matches and earn the majority of their income overseas. He only plays 3-5 tournaments here in Australia, some years he plays 26+ tournaments. The big money earners are the 4 Grand Slams and the 9 Master Series. Only one of these is in Australia. It's a very complicated situation, as you would expect from the Taxation Department if you are an Australian Resident with income from multiple countries. Other countries allow different deductions, different payment options etc. The flip side is he's probably earnt 90% of his career income now. This years prize money US $217K is just fraction of his total prize money of US $17.8 mill. It's anyone's guess what he's earnt in endorsements, appearance fees and media payments. A cynic might suggest he's basing himself overseas to make it more difficult for those seeking money from him from past management deals. |

| He did but not against good enough opposition to advance his cause.With Hewitt it is about the money so he can live the good life.Apart from that he doesn't have any skills outside tennis.Could you imagine Hewitt commentating a game between Blake and anyone white? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh wonderful! I'm pleased to learn that it worked. However I'll need to check if i recieved your pm. OK back to the tennis. As I have not really been following it closely since after the Australian Open. Did Hewitt not win a title on a clay surface somewhere in America? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| vince you however... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| now vince you must not flatter the child by thinking he upsets me he ...arouses.... my evil side!! |
