Tim in 3 for me as well, Hewitt hasn't had the easiest time so far, dropping a set in all three of his matches, compared with Tim who hasn't dropped a set in 4 Just so long as Tim can keep up his current form. Of course, it being Tim i expect a rollercoaster ride!!

I think tim will win in 2. hewitt is not the same player he once was and beating him in miami gives him the pyschological edge despite trailing in their head to head!!

I'll be backing Tim for this one.


Hewitt has not returned to the player he once used to be. And hopefully Teem can clear it up in a nice 2 setter. 3 sets if needed.


Roddick to win the tournament.

I would like to say Tim but I can't see it. Hewitt isn't the player he was but he remains a mega tough cookie and I think he will take it in 2. I hope I'm wrong.

If tim plays like he did in round one to three bar the occasional lapses in concentration i'd reckon he'll win pretty easily. He didn't play well yesterday and was lucky that DT played badly but he cannot afford to play like he did yesterday against hewitt. Saying that, Lleyton looked nothing like ive seen him play before. EVen in the semis at wimbledon last year, he looked very strong and he was probably the second best player on grass. Against nadal, not exactly a legend on grass now, he looked distinctly average...hopefully he stays like that!

hewitt breaks 0-15 15-15 15-30 30-30 30-40 game 4-2

a think its pretty much over henman had a chance there...failed
could be 4-2 henman right now
if henman broke hewitt last game he would have had the confidence to finish him off

If Queens Club would use hawkeye or if the umpire would get glasses Henman would have won that match.


Reaosns being -


1. 3 bad calls in one game made Henman have to essentially hold his serve twice in order to hold it once and gave Hewitt a bit of hope when Tim was outplaying him.


2. Tim was up a break in the third and had just saved break point, had all the momentum, and then in a split second Hewitt said sometinh to the linesman, who changed his mind, Tim was broken and fair enough he failed to deal with it well enough and got steamrolled.


Henman has enough to contend with with our dreadful media circus without having to fight against incompetent linesmen.


What's more is that he was able to look up to the commentary box and prove to the umpire the correct call on every contested decision but by the rules no change could be made.


Hewitt even had the audactiy to challenge a Henman return that landed good.


I'm furious
