Yeah but he has his dignity. Lleyton is a sooky little bitch. I love how he always goes COME ONNNNNNNN after he beats a nobody like it's something lol

Thins I admire about Lleyton:

* His fighting spirit - he can be down 6-luv, 6-luv and 5-luv against serve, and he won't give up; some of our greatest Davis Cup moments have involved him clawing his way back from the brink of doom

* He hasn't been in great form in recent years, but we all know just how good he can be - he has great court speed, great touch on lobs, volleys and drop shots and a good tennis mind

* Love him or hate him, the guy bleeds blue and gold - he is so passionately Australian and proud of it.


OK, so he sooks a bit. I blame his parents - when he hot the spotlight at age 16, instead of keeping him grounded they encourage him to behave like he did at home (that is, spoiled). But I admire the guy's tenacity and honestly hope he could one day win the Open.

Mind you, with a freak like Feds there...

How about last night ay.

Dellacquas win was nice surprise.

The match between Roddick and Kohlschreiber was bloody awsome. One of the best matches i have seen so far. Only matched by last night Bagdahtis and Safin battle.

Agreed.

He struggled to beat a wounded Baghdatis. Any real contender would have wrapped it up in the 4th when he had the 5 - 1 lead. One of the best comebacks I have seen.

Djokovic should use Hewitt as a practice session.

What was really disappointing was the luck Baghdatis had, at 5-1 in the 4th, hewitt serving, the bloke gave up, was playing ridiculous tennis and got lucky, broke hewitt and kicked on from that

hewitt should have probably won the 4th 6-0 to be honest, but he just couldnt close out the set
