Re: Lleyton Hewitt
Was very unimpressed that Roddick went off court to change his t-shirt though - where's the fun in that!!

[/QUOTE]Nice guy Andy took over 7 minutes to change his shirt, shorts, socks, shoes and goodness knows what else. When the referee tried to hurry him up Andy said OK, you take off one shoe and sock! Hewitt had every right to complain because he was over 5 minutes late - but he didn't.
Someone else said Hewitt is very patriotic. He is the only player who has concentrated on the Davis Cup at the expense of his ranking slipping (2003, didn't play tournaments after US Open to build up to DC final); the likes of Agassi and Sampras said that DC 'didn't fit into their schedule' so hardly ever turned out for their country. Henman has just retired from DC to concentrate on 'winning a major' while he can - he probably doesn't want to help gain 2 successive promotions to get back into the World Group also. They'll just have to rely on the Canadian!
