Hewitt Defies Federer In Halle To Win Seventh Grass-Court Title - 萊頓·休伊特 Lleyton Hewitt

In a final between the two most accomplished active grass-court players
, Lleyton Hewitt snapped a 15-match winless streak against World No. 2
Roger Federer with a 3-6, 7-6(4), 6-4 victory to win the Gerry Weber Open
title on his debut in Halle.

“It’s fantastic,” declared Hewitt. “Roger’s a hell of an opponent;
his grass-court record speaks for itself. Any time you play Roger on a
grass court you know you’re in for a hell of a battle and I was lucky
to get out of today’s match.

“It’s fantastic for me; I’m getting towards the end of my career and
had couple of surgeries, to know I can still compete at this level.
I’m thrilled to be here and to have won another title. The tournament’s
been fantastic; Roger’s obviously come here all of his career, it’s a
fantastic atmosphere. I’ll be back next year.”

As winner of the ATP World Tour 250 grass-court tennis tournament,
Hewitt received 250 South African Airways 2010 ATP Ranking points and
€113,600. Federer, who surrendered his No. 1 ranking on Monday, earned
150 ranking points and €59,900 in prize money.

一篇ATP的新聞
小希現在打球的心態很健康
來到職業生涯的晚期，還能連贏五場球賽打敗天敵拿下冠軍
真的是好消息 !
現在我最大的希望就是他能健健康康打球
然後多爆幾個冷門(握拳!)

Hewitt厲害的地方，就是在於他可以在最短的時間內來到最佳的擊球位置，
然後做出最正確的判斷，迫使對方在節奏上處於劣勢。
