Lleyton Hewitt started his hard court campaign this week in Legg Mason Tennis Classic but was defeated by the defending champ, Juan Martin Del Potro, in a tight three-set match, 4-6 6-3 7-6(2) for a place in the quarters. Once again, Hewitt failed in a tiebreaker.

Another highlight of last night’s matches, Wimby 09 finalist, Andy Roddick reached his 500th career win. Nice one Andy.

And to Ms. Serena Williams who won her 11th slam title after defeating defending champ and her sister Venus Williams 7-6 [3] 6-2.

i am so back to blogging!

Woot! Sorry for no posting. Well I doubt if there’s anyone who cares to read this so-called blog except for my dearest brother . Are we all over the RFedExpress and his record-breaking 15th slam title?

Congratulations Roger. My life would be so much better if I was your fan. But let’s not forget the huge effort of this guy who pushed RFed into five sets:

Big congrats to you, Andy. It was a tough one.

So the RFed makes history and regains the top spot, will he continue to win more?

Lleyton Hewitt is going to his first grand slam quarterfinals since 2006 (US Open) after defeating Radek Stepanek in 5 sets 46 26 61 62 62. After playing two lousy sets, Lleyton came back in a classy way and dispatched the Czech.

He will next face World No. 6 Andy Roddick who defeated him in Queen’s couple weeks ago in two breakers. Best of luck Lleyts and may your star keep shining! Must admit he owes a lot from these guys..

C’maaaawn!!
