I have to say I'm not impressed with tonight's match. Seems to me the "new and improved" Hewitt needs some additional work. There's nothing spectacular in the way Lleyton Hewitt and Juan Ignacio Chela played. To Chela's credit, he did force the match to go into the fourth set. The guys were just keeping the ball in play for as long as they could, until one of them gets unlucky and makes an unforced error. And there were lots of unforced errors. Lots of standard shots that didn't cross the net. Hopefully, a different opponent for Hewitt will up the level of play.
Hewitt really has to tone done his "Come on!" shouts. Blake and Chela aren't the only ones who find them unnecessary. Sometimes he uses his trademark shout even when his opponent makes a simple mistake. I mean, it's not like he made this difficult shot and he's rewarding himself with a pat in the back.
Hewitt defeats Chela 6-2 4-6 6-1 6-4.
