Tonight looks alright haha. I like watch woman tennis when there hot like Ivanovich. Last night the aussie chick was pretty rank. And atleast Nadal playing tonight can see what form he is in.

Go Gonzalas, I hope he wins.

And than lets see how the media take it. 'On the News'. Hewitt knocked out in the first round.

That will show the media's arrogance.

It's not like the cricket though. No one expects much of Lleyton Hewitt at all. In fact most people think he will be knocked out in the first round. Not looking as good in the 2nd set now, Hewitt is down 3-1

That's always been his greatest strength. Rallying and waiting until the moment arrives and then cracking the ball at an unbelievable speed into either corner..

Gonzalez has taken it up another level and Hewitt is struggling to hold on. Hewitt is playing his best though, Gonzalez is just a much better player

Gonzalez wins the third set 6 -2. Hewitt's not playing bad or anything but Gonzalez is just a better quality player. I thought this might happen before this match started. I can't see Hewitt pulling back from this now....

That's the problem though. I don't think Hewitt has another level in his game. He's giving this match his full potential atm and nothing is working. The only way Hewitt can get back into the match is if Gonzalez starts making unforced errors.
