Absolutely, the other lass was looking angry at the umpire and linespeople for no good reason. Hawkeye in tennis is still chancy but a lot more accurate than cricket ffs. It was a well balanced match mostly

Strong play definitely. Early in the season but a good start for Hewitt. Great to see the Fed's humility right throughout that.

Hewitt winning and Australia take the Ashes 5-0.

Only the start of the year, bit hot and tired. I get the feeling he only cares about getting ready for Slams these dayswhat else is needed to prove that the fed is in deep decline?
I don't think that is the case though...he wants to win every time he steps on court and in his prime his B game was enough to beat Hewitt comfortably...not any more...

Surely no one is denying Federer is in decline? Its natural. He is 32.
The question is how far has he declined. Considering he lost to Tommy Robredo in straight sets at the US Open, I'd say he's declined a fair bit.
Showed promising signs at the ATP World Tour Finals though. He's still top 5-6 in the world.

This.
His games in the World Tour Finals against del Potro and Djokovic (well the first set at least) really impressed me. Like often he failed to sustain his periods of excellence so that is naturally a worry against the top guns.
I didn't watch the match against Hewitt, but how did Fed lose? Was it the dreaded incapability to capitalize on break points or did Hewitt actually play well?

Absolutely the Fed is in decline. But I still think he has the game to beat Hewitt ffs. That's all I meant. Hewitt didn't particularly play well, and Federer played well below what he's capable of even currently. His timing was what was the most out and I think that that will improve and give him maybe a quarter or even semi final once we hit Melbourne.
it's just my frustration...i hate seeing him lose and i hate it even more seeing him lose to people he used to beat in his sleep...
