So how will this win affect Hewitt's ranking, just out of interest?

live-tennis.eu are very quick on the ball. Apparently Hewitt will rise from 181 to 130.
Raonic drops from 25 to 28.
The Hewitt collapse after the win was justified in this match. The first match not so much

Would love to see what he does if his opponent doubles on match point.

Anyone else get the feeling this is Hewitt's last Australian Open? He's been very emotional after his wins here.
That was a high quality match. Certainly the best Lleyton has looked this summer, he's cut out a lot of the unnecessary unforced errors that seemed to creep in. There was a bit of vintage Lleyton about he match, he played the clutch situations amazingly. His return game was also amazing tonight, can't believe he got some of those serves back into a neutral position. Great match, great to see Hewitt back into the 2nd week though, the guy deserves it with all the injuries he's had to see off.
How stupid are the 7 commentators (Rasheed also)? After Hewitt wins the 3rd set they're all wondering who he's poking his tongue out at. How do some people struggle to read situations so badly? Obviously Hewitt thought he was lucky after losing two set points on service, then in the next point he's scrambling around the court just trying to get the ball back, Raonic at the net has a dipping overhead to put away yet nets it. As Hewitt said himself "99 out of 100 times he'd put that away,"
Joanna Griggs celebrating... wtf.

Tsonga does worse and no one cares. Let him go, both have been good wins.
Anyway vintage Hewitt tonight, always very tense. Mentally very tough and his court coverage was superb.
He will get done in straight sets next round, but who cares, its been a good week.

So funny to see the hate for Hewitt. Cant do anything right. Personally i think it is great to see him enjoy his wins so much. Tells me he wasnt expecting much. Also he knows he doesnt have many years left. Haters gonna hate. Shame so many people on bigfooty hate succesful people.
This x 100.
Well done to Hewitt hopefully he can put up a good performance against Djokovic. I think a win is too much to expect.

Great win for Lleyton, one of his best matches he has played in a long time, he was moving almost as well at his peak in this match, was just a gutsy effort. And the other key was the first serve, he won a lot of points off it.
Great tournament and actually gives me belief on a solid 2012 instead of it just being a farewell year (Providing he stays helathy). Djokovic will win obivously on Monday though.

Not really unsurprising but still, ugh.
What's she do?
The first match was a little bit embarassing. I'm going to side with the haters there. But yeah the Hewitt Haters and Doubters on this board are a little over the top.
Great win from Lleyton tonight. His ability to return the ball to a neutral position was important as was his serving. Raonic first serve % was not high enough to win and it could have been the pressure he felt from Hewitt's return. His celebration in the first round I think was because he genuinely did not know if he would play this open and in the last year he probably had thoughts of retirement and if he was going to play tennis again. His celebration tonight was well justified, he is taking every moment as it comes and enjoying his wins. He played really well tonight and he knows who he is playing next round so celebrate fully while you can. And we may find in the future that this is his last AO. If people had no emotion in sport what would it be like to watch?
