3R Lleyton 'Rocky' Hewitt v the Dominator

Who will win?

Hewitt will not want a 5 set match due to his ankle problems. Hrbaty would want a 5 set match to grind his opponent down. Will be an interesting slugfest. I suggest Hewitt go for his winners and play his deft shots at net to have a chance.

Last matchup was interesting where Hewitt thrashed Hrbaty at the US Open last year commenting "how can i lose to a guy with a shirt like that" - referring to Hrbaty's awful pink flap-open at the back shirt

Dom.

Hewitt in 3/4 sets.

Dominator

Hewitt in 4.

It doesnt matter, they will lose next round to Rafa.

Rusty

Hewitt if Hrbaty decides to wear that infamous pink shirt. ;)

Hewitt in 4 if his ankle holds up. I like the fact that he has been aggressive in his on court behavior with a lot of come-ons. I think his game improves considerably when he has that in-your-face attitude.

Hewitt should win if not suffering injury problems.

Yep if he shows a bit of :fiery: :armed: on court, he should win

I hope and think that Lleyton will win. :)

Lleyton will win :D

I really hope Lleyton will win. I'm so extatic to see him playing again, I want to hear him yell and shout, it makes me feel like the old Lleytons back. I'd also like to see him play Nadal.

The US Open match brings back horrendous memories. Dominik played like....so bad. Hewitt is a bad match up and Dominik just has to go for such big shots. Some land and it's like omg, but it's difficult to sustain long enough to win a match. Luckily fitness is on Dominik's side. :D

yes these players don't match up particularly well...lleyton should out-class hrbaty in 3 or 4 sets

Yes, I'd be unrealistic if I said Dominik has huge chances to win, however if he is ever going to beat Hewitt it's now. ;)

class is one thing, form is something totally different

Hewitt in four

Hewitt ins straight sets hopefully.I just wanna see Hewitt get a crack at Nadal.

Hrbaty. Whoever plays Nadal is lamb being a led to the slaughter. Makes me sort of hope Hewitt wins because seeing Nadal destroy him would be hilarious.

The Dominator in 5 :rocker2:
