Lleyton "Rocky" Hewitt 2008 Aussie Open Thread

[Ricketts]

Yeah but Hewitt still acts like a **** all the time, we can hold that against him, not the media.

 

[The natural]

Again its the media that write this not him and also while it was the first time hopefully you were equally outraged by todays paper calling Casey Dellacqua an 'Australian Treasure'. The fact I don't agree with that should I hold it against Casey?

Media are hypocrites and constantly write garbage especially Herald suns,Mark Robinson and Scott Gullan.What they know about tennis you could write on the back of a postage stamp.Sadly though for once they got it right she is a national treasure and Hewitt is a f-c-w-t who has been put on a pedestal by the media as a little Aussie battler and a great competitor when he has constantly carried on like a spoilt brat and been an embarrassment to Australia as far as the way our Sportspeople have conducted themselves over time.Pat Cash could have his outbursts and be bad tempered because he was a fierce competitor but was quite a good sport all things being equal but Hewitt is in a league of his own and has no respect from his peers or the people who have a belief of how sport sould be played.Compete hard, fight to the death but be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

Again just more insiults, this is what I am talking about it all keeps coming back to a few things, a long long time ago, with may similar comments made by other players over the years.

So who performed another major dummy spit in recent times?

While other players also undertake these dummy spits, this is one reason why I will continue to hate Lleyton. He just needs to grow up!

What's with all the Hewitt Bashing...
I know that everybody is entitled to their opinion but i think that we need to give Lleyton credit on an absolutly fantastic win.
He may be ignorant and a bastard on and off the field at times but now is the time that we need to show a bit of appreciation for our only man left in the tournament.
Well done

Im glad i started this thread. I knew we were set for a couple of big weeks!

GO GET EM ROCKY...C'mon!

 

[Monkeyboy]

Lol Hewitt cant even beat the 216th ranked player in the world in straight sets or even comfortably and misses multiple rally shots that should never be missed.

As long as Baghdatis recovers fine from last night Hewitt should be bundled out in straight sets.

I guess you also think the Tigers can finish 15th this year??
Nice tipping sunshine.....go Rocky! C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No surprise you started this thread...a moron Carlton supporter that lists Essendon as his team...

 

[Biggie]

He'll be eliminated next rnd.

 

[Owizee]

Baghdatis to smash the black hater in 3.

Hewitt would struggle to beat Justine Henin ATM, never mind a fit Baghdatis... Justine hits the ball harder than Lleyton.

Assuming Marcos recovers after last night's cracking match against Safin... this one will be no contest.

haha

 

[Owizee]

played some good tennis before he choked in the 4th ,hope he goes further

 

[Carson_Kressley]

Stranger things have happened.

 

[Biggie]

Stranger things have happened.

Yes they have.

Like Hewitt actually winning last night.

He wont last 4 sets against Novac.

 

[Redline]

It was a good win by Hewitt last night, anyone who has a clue about tennis would say that. Thought overall his behaviour was not too bad.

The previous matches Bagdatis had played took their tole and I'd say last night's match would have on Hewitt. I hope he wins his 4th round but fear he could struggle.

English buddy, English

 

[Charliebrow 16]

I'm tipping Hewitt tonight, i think that if he's done all he can in preparation and relaxation then he'll be a genuine chance tonight.
Sure Novak hasn't lost a set as of yet but i think this is his toughtest match yet.
The crowd will be on Hewitt's side and i think Hewitt finally has hunger for success again. Should be a good match, i'm looking forward to it.

 

[whelan=legend]

ill go for hewitt tonight but i think he will get smashed.

Don't underestimate "the eye of the tiger". I think Rocky is in for a big one tonight....C'MON! Rocky in 4

Rocky was actually in 6, although not all of them are worth watching. Not many underestimate Eye of the tiger, its one of the better songs in movies, don't know why tonight would be a big rocky night, perhaps you got Rocky Balboa on Blu Ray?

 

[Thrawn]

Djokovic is a class above Hewitt at the moment, I can't see him losing. Expecting it to be a tight 4 set match though.

 

[heals]

Novak in straight sets.

 

[Jumpin' Jimmy]

Hewie's pumped up for this. Rochy has been feeding him self-belief again.
