<><><>Sad to say but my gut feeling is that Hewitt should really retire in the next 6-months, unless he can dramatically turn around his form.
In 2007 Lleyton played pretty well at times but ever since his Rd.2 loss @ USO last Semptember his form has been quite embarrassing, except for one gutsy win @ AO over Baggy.
Hewitt is now losing regularly to players in the #30-#80 range, so it`s not just the top guys who have his number

#consider Llegs performance @ Mumbai, Tokyo, Adelaide, Sydney, Rotterdam & Las Vegas>> he`s not even getting past the 2nd round in MM tourneys anymore

Hewitt`s had a wonderful career, i think he can retire with his head held high [plus he has a smoking wife, so he should be happy:devil:]..
