Anybody watching the ESPN coverage. I just noticed last Hewitt match that there's an Aussie guy doing the commentating, not even sure what his name is (nor do I care). He's got nothing bad to say about Hewitt: "He's not doing anything bad, he's making his shots". Anybody watching this match knows so far he a) can't get a first service in and b) he's hitting about 20% of his groundstrokes into the net (from what I can see so far).

He's playing the shits and this biased caster' can't say good enough things about him... funny.

3rd set now, it was honestly difficult watching the first 2.

It's the first time I've seen Hewitt be aggressive as I've seen from him, he's still on serve 4-5 but it's the first time I've seen him whip the 2 hand backhand crosscourt. I was expecting him to play like that from the get go. Anybody see Montanes against Nadal the other day, aggressive? how about 62 unforced errors.

I just want some aggressiveness out of hte little bulldog, maybe I get my gamesline, please.

I watched the Nadal/Hewitt match on the Tennis Channel this morning so I did not hear the comments. I think Hewitt's problem is that he does not start playing until he is two sets down. It's like he sleep walks through the first two sets. You can not do that against Nadal on clay. Even still, I think he played great in the third set but it was just too late, he seemed worn out. He started double faulting in the tie break.

Nadal is just too much for anyone on clay these days.

I can agree with that Tommy.

I can also agree with you sox, if Hewitt had've played the entire match like he was down 0-2 he would've covered my line. There were times in that 3rd set where he was just too powerful for Nadal, meanwhile Nadal's heavy topspin shots were eating Hewitt up all game. Most of his errors were into the net. He was hitting the ball over his head at times.
