I was surprised to see Hewitt as the favorite with the bookies, but I'm even more surprised to see him as the favorite here. I initially thought 60-40 to Djokovic, but maybe I'm leaning too much towards Djokovic on this one. He did push Ancic last year and hasn't had terrible grass results.
Hewitt's background and their h2h are something to back it up. Though I agree with you, from what I've seen on grass Djokovic has got what it takes to beat Hewitt. And I don't buy the too much experienced/solid argument.
If Hewitt brings his A game he will go through but Djokovic will fight for this one and I guess both guys believe that they have realistic shots of reaching the final here.
Should be a good match and the outcome will depend on who can control the rallies.
I hope Nole can do it in 4 or 5. Lleyton worries me because he has a lot more experience on this surface and I think he's been playing better throughout the tournament. Nole hasn't been impressing me this week and a half, very far from playing his best. If he brings his A-game he can do it, so I hope he's been saving that for this match.
Lleyton....don't think he'll able to keep up the intensity to take it in straights, but hopefully he can get away in 4
