I highly doubt...i highly doubt buddy.......the way Hewitt is playing like a terrier or some aggressive badger...... He has frightening determination right now...i doubt whether Roddick would be able to match the speed, precision and timing of the legendary Australian......

Wednesday and Thursday, most probably kicking off at 6.30 PM IST.......happy viewing!!!!
As far as British standard time is concerned, it should be approx noon time on both days but check out with BBC, they would give the exact time when it will start......

@Bhasmasur, u r right.......after a couple of years we had seen hewitt in this gr8 form.....it reminds me the 2001-2002 season when hewitt was no. 1 and was unbeatable
I wish stan had won that match.he played exceptional tennis in the first set and somehow lost it in the second.may be he had trbl with his left leg for which he was seeking medical attention.he moved far lesser in the second set when compared to the first.his backhand cross court volleys were sheer brilliance.But probably his inability to win long rallies (he was hitting the ball out if the rally lasted a bit longer) did him in.But the way he held Murray to teh baseline was really a treat to watch.He is a player to watch out.Murray has been tested twice now by Kendrick and Stan.But the draws are such that he might get through to the finals.But if he is going to the play the way he did yesterday then he has very less chances of winning the championship as he would be no match to Federer. It will be interesting to watch their allegiance in the final, if the final is between Federer and Murray as predicted.Federer's match against Karlovic is to be watched atleast for the ace machine karlovic's aces.It gets interesting from now on.

Stanislas Wawrinka has a pathetic serve.....at this level, you need a rocket serve if you are to win Grand slams or come near to winning......everyone is not a genius like Fedex to win inspite of not having a rocket serve....

but Andy's serve is also pathetic.
also one thing I did not like. I saw this match Live on BBC and the coverage was like a bollywood movie with a hero (Murray) and a villain (Swan). really the cameramen, the commentrator and crowd everyone was biased towards Murray. Even when Murray was losing points and Swan was getting some exceptional points on the court, it was all Murray on teh camera, the replays etc. to be honest.. it was really sick!

A nation that is struggling to find some sporting heroes, desperately clings on to one when it sees one....
They expected a lot from their won Englishman Henman but he disappointed them more than he satisfied them..
So, now they see a sporting hero in Andy Murray and latch on to him even though he is not an English but a Scot..... When it was Henman, it was English pride on display, and now that it is a Scot from Glasgow, it is British pride on display...never mind, they are starved of sporting icons and desperately latch on when they see any talent..... I don't blame them.....a generation of cricketers disappointed them by getting humiliated in Ashes, a generation of soccer icons disappointed them by losing in penalty shootouts, the glory generation of Brit atheletes like sebastian Coe is over..

agreed but its fine till the crows supports Murray. But when it comes to cameramen and commetrator.. no matter what they should be unbiased while doing their job.. it leaves a bad impression on an international level.

Agree with this. The commentators also seemed to be biased. Many Murray winners were replayed. And teh camera kept incessantly focusing on Murray even when he was losing points. Pathetic.

People do get carried away.......you should see a Davis cup match in India when Bhupathi/Paes square off against anyone else...it is hysterical to say the least......
