I think his run will end tomorrow nigh against the fed man! Cant see him getting a set of Roger!

[PeteyD]

Big ask.

Cannot stand this grunting man-thing. Happy whenever she's out of a tourney early.

Liking the Kukiuskin / Mofils game. Hnery Le Cont is a crack up for a commentator!

Lost on day 3, there's a few other grunters as well but there better looking..........Sharapova for one.

[PeteyD]

Raonic can hit a ball.

[AndyP]

Hewitt looks like he is just hanging on. It's
hard to see him breaking the Raonic serve.

[TheNuclearOne]

The match is on his raquet imo. Hewitt's only chance is if he starts missing. Not much Hewitt can do bar hang in and hope. He's just so powerful and Hewitt lacks the weapons to dictate a change in match tempo.

... Not much Hewitt can do bar hang in and hope. ... Hewitt lacks the weapons to dictate a change in match tempo.

Pretty much describes Hewitt's position with whomever he plays. No weapons & he's no longer a quick scrambler around the court.

[MAZA68]

Raonic making lots of unforced errors, there's opportunites there if Hewitt can take them.

Thats what hewitt is waiting for, the unforced errors!

and on cue he suddenly starts missing. 4 unforced errors in one game out of no-where.

Lets hope he keeps missing enough and Hewitt can get him deep enough to tighten up.

This guys got more guns than most, but i know what you mean.

[TheNuclearOne]

Raonics first ever lost breaker in a slam if i heard right. Raonic now missing many more balls and very tight on the lost set point. After much hard work and hanging in Hewitt is now in the box seat (and in his element - a good old fashioned dogfight is now in progress) tho Raonic could easily loosen up and start hitting his spots again. He's behind now.

This is the best tennis Hewitt has played for a long time regardless of what happens from here.

[PeteyD]

Agreed. Hewitt is playing exceptionally well. Good to see him at full fitness again.

[TheTrueReview]

Is it just me that thinks that that the Hewitt & Raonic match is painful? Either looks unlikely to take more than 6 games off (next opponent) Djokovic in a straight set defeat.

[PeteyD]

The Joker will have to get sick to be pressured by these guys. But funny things happen.

Yeah mate, the way he is playing nowadays it takes a supreme effort from a supreme player to have a chance. Hewitt very definitely knows what he's up against.

Absolutely vintage Hewitt tonight. He'll need two more levels to be competitive next round.

Raonic actually some support he'd win the tourney.

[AndyP]

I think Hewitt's ranking might improve.....

This calls for song

[Ferrins]

The match today against the Chinese bird, should be a good tussle.

[PeteyD]

You leave Princess Fiona alone bully boy.

HaHa Li Na

Princess Fiona did the roar!
