You know, what, I do so many commons while I'm watching Hewitt play on telly it becomes an irritation for those arround me, so I can kind of feel the concerns everyone raises, but I don't think I can help it, neither can Hewitt, just think the common ons make him what he is, some part of that never ending determination comes by virtues of those common ons, and yes, at least its a nicer way of celebrating then crying!!! (remember Wimbeldon last year?)

I can't see how Hewitt will lose this now, he's too fired up now. I think he would have won against Federer too. With all that has been said about him having played soo much to get through to the finals, I do think much of that is over hyped, from the last set vs Roddick (which he won 6-1) he looked as fit and as energetic as anyone in the tournament. Safin has obviously playing well, he beat Federer after all, but if Hewitt plays like he has been, he'll beat him hands down, for my money at least

I know people will laugh at this, but I had a dream (as in a real dream while sleaping at night) and in that I saw Hewitt take the open, I actually saw him do it, and I saw my self too in that dream, sitting just behind Llyeton's box in the Rod Lever, ....oh how I love the Aussie open, my favorite grand slam next to Wimbeldon I have to admit.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!
Hewitt Rules, Period.

The Come on's are getting more and more irritating. If you want to read an article about it, it's here. Needs registration on the torygraph.

It's not a better way of celebrating. First of all, it's not a way of celebrating. It's pumping yourself up. One usually does it, when (s)he is down a bit, which occurs with Hewitt all too often . I think it also comes from a feeling of insecurity.

Btw, if you play a game and your opponent keeps shouting like a manic, your concentration wanders a bit. I have seen it happen to many a guys, when we played cricket and football as well. It's like one of those chirpy weeket keepers encouraging the bowler after every ball. Totally annoying.

Anyway, Hewitt is no where as good as Federer is. Federer had an off day and still Safin had to play his best tennin to beat him in five sets. Safin will roll over Hewitt, provided Hewitt does not get under his skin.

EXACTLY.Safin looks like the most dominant player in men's tennis right now after beating Federer.And anyway,the Aus Open somehow seems to being out the best in him,and as Vijay Amritraj said Safin,on his day can be unstoppable.

I actually think that Roger was outplayed that day, but in saying that, if there was a rematch between Safin and Federer, the latter would win.

I really don't think Federer had an offday.What the heck is an off day anyway?A loss is a loss no matter what.Even Ganguly keeps harping on 'off days' looks like almost every day is an offday for him.I find it a pretty lame excuse for all those people who just can't accept his defeat.It was plain to see that Safin was the better man.
