LLeyton Hewitt

What do you all think of lleyton hewitt?

personally I think he's nothing but a show off, his game is good but I dont think he's an AMAZING player.

I think people will give him alot of credit for beating roddick, which is a big mistake, hewitts game is perfect to counter roddicks this is the only reason he won.

Rodicks tactic is to overwhelm the opponent with his big serve then finsh them with his forehand. Unfortunately when he played hewitt this didnt work because of hewitts consistensy.

Anyways just wondering what you all think of him.

As an Aussie talking about an Aussie, no one here really likes him cause of his antics and attitude, but let's face it he's good, and he's ours so we'll take him no matter how much he gets on our nerves. At least he's consistent, not like our other 'Phillipousis'.
What you have to realise is that starting out so young, and still having your parents travel the world with you carrying your bags, things are not going to be normal. Like proposing twice in the last 3 years. He's not even a man yet and your expecting him to act like one? No chance. Therefore, let's all just appreciate all the players and what they have to go through.

Personally i think he has a bad attitude.

hey ashley
he has a bad attitude and he is ugly too

well, I am not a Hewitt fan. I am not anti Hewitt. I like good players who play good tennis. He is good on the court. He has great determination. That thing with his parentes travelling with him, I found that strange too, to be honest, and I don't konw about him proposint 3 times, I knew of two, which is the 3rd? :rolleyes: He had done strange things in his carreer, that thing with James Blake and that roaring, that might piss some people off...I think he really is not a mature person on court...still, it's great to watch him!!

hes 2 ugly, illtempered :p

Hewitt is one of the most unsportsmanlike player I have EVER seen playing the game. And I have seen a lot.

He is so rude to everyone on the court - his opponent, the umpire, line judges, ball boys, he even glares and swears at his own coach.

OK, he is a pretty good player, but he is also generally over-rated. And the fact that he actually believes that it's him and Roger Federer that are the top 2 players in the world... how conceited. Your not even close.

Grow up.

he sucks :p :(

I play and watch a lot of tennis.
I used to like Hewitt, when i was young and stupid.
He is DISGUSTING his so rude and has a bad temper, his ugly yes but this doesnt matter, his attitude sucks and he needs to mature.
Go roddick i love you

First of all, learn how to spell. People don't get interested in tennis because of Hewitt. They get interested because of champions like Federer and Sampras who play great tennis AND act classy. Also, there are tons of pros who can come back from two sets down without taunting their opponents and screaming as loud as they can. Can anyone on this board beat him? Not likely. But they don't get paid to play tennis for a living either.

i find it funny that everyone bad mouths hewitt for being a jerk on the court yet someone says go roddick and noone says anything. I watcched roddick training a month ago and he was breaking rackets and yelling swears with 20 little kids watching him. ill take hewitt being a jerk on a court over someone cant even control himself in practice.

tennis is really asking for more energetic players to get more fans so hes good:/

Funny how he was in a cartton sponsored by yonex o.O

I agree with gasguet!! I like Hewitt. I dont think he has a bad attitude. I think he's just focused and determined to win so much that he lets his attitude get the best of him. I enjoy watching him play.

I really like Hewitt and he has matured alot in the last 4 or 5 years.. When he first started on tour i didnt like him at all. His attitude was very poor and his sportsmanship even worse. But now he has matured alot and settled more on court. I have alot more respect for him now. Additionally by a very long way.. he has the most guts when it comes to playing tennis and fighting on court. As an aussie he is great.

I consider myself a Lleyton Hewitt fan. Maybe he is sometimes rude but his "C'mon!!" or his fist can't be taken as an offense or unsportmanship. He plays every point at 110% no matter the score. Watching him training is a great experience so you can see how hard and intense he works. I have been in the Nasdaq - 100 Open (Key Biscayne) the last 9 years and every time I saw Hewitt, he was training with Henman, Federer or Agassi. I don't think these gentlemen would like to have as hitting partner a jerk, non talented, unsportmanship, rude, etc...

Hewitt is a good tennis player, nothing really outstanding about his game. One thing I like about him is his determination and never say die attitude. He's an interesting character...probably not the best role model, but he has created a lot of interest in tennis, in Australia especially. After Pat Rafter retired Australia really only had Phillippousis and Hewitt left as top world ranking players. I think he's good for tennis, where would Australian tennis be without him today?

To Brado:
I think that Hewitt is one of the best returners in the ATP. His game is very defensive and the reason of his success is his excelent speed and footwork. Watching him playing you can teach juniors how to fight until the last point. Personally I like hot blooded players that show and express their emotions. His game is really outstanding.

tell him 2 go die.he had trouble of beatin even hernych

i love henin:D

go aussie come on come on come on aussie come on come on
hewit is australian mate we gotta support him he plays good tennis

u like him????

i hope to see hewitt get his game back in gear. the game could use some more competition for the top 2. :)

heitts really bad!!!:p

Hewitt's just mediocre....can't seem to bring his game up...same old shots He's boring...;)
