Hewitt's age isn't really an issue, especially in tennis. Hewitt is 27.

Federer is 27, Roddick is 26, Davydenko is 27, Blake is 29, Nalbandian is 27, Gonzalez is 28, Safin is 28


and safin is retiring at the end of the year!!!!!!

thats a shame, a player i enjoy watching, mainly for the racquet breaking antics

LOL...dropped into a mates place last night and that game was on...he said the same thing "Look someone uglier then Venus".....

The WTA should only have sexy chicks from the Eastern block countries (Jelana is from there) plus Sammy "Muscles" Stosur on tour...

Do you have any idea what time that Federer/Safin match is going to be on?

huh ? On what basis ?

no basis really, Hewitt statistics say his better, winning grandslams and that, but i reckon Guccione and Tomic have overpassed Hewitt.

Sure, Hewitt was a great player in his prime, but thats all behind him now.


HOF jeez mate .. guccione better then hewitt .. or as u say overtaken him ... did u know that guccione won his first match in a grand slam for four years this week ...

Thank you very much Mum ;) I can't wait to see it tonight and here's hoping Dokic gets up, I've got my heart invested in her now.

I can't believe the quality of matches tonight.

Wozniacki/Dokic should be a ripper. Caro is future top 3 and so hot whilst Dokic's comeback has been sensational. I'll say Caro in 2 tight sets. Then if anyone can beat Federer this early it's Marat in potentially his last match in Australia. Cmon Safin!!

Then as well as RLA and Hisense, you have Berdych v Wawrinka on Margaret Court, wow! What a night of tennis, too much to keep an eye on. I'll be keeping an eye on Ana though. ;)

She did a great job.

I thought she was gone after the first set, but she fought back hard
and I reckon looked her best in the last couple of games.

Good girl Jelena :)
