[blue]

I must admit, this year I was not that interested in the AO (don´t know what´s up with me, the last time hasn´t been too good for my fav players ), but that match was great fun. I´m, happy Martina is back.

Hewitt Struggles in Melbourne Opener

The New Year hasn’t been too kind to Lleyton Hewitt, who has struggled with illness and searched for form at ATP events in Adelaide and Sydney where he is more used to lifting trophies.

Last year’s beaten finalist was fighting for his life once again at the Australian Open on Tuesday, as Czech Robin Vik so nearly caused the upset of the men’s championship thus far.

Hewitt needed to draw upon all his big-match experience to recover from a two set to one deficit on Rod Laver Arena for a 6-4, 2-6, 5-7, 7-6(4), 6-3 win and a place in the second round.

Nerves got the better of 25-year-old Vik, as he served for the match at 6-5 in the fourth set. Hewitt broke back to love and won the tie-break but was forced to work hard in the deciding set.

Hewitt hit 11 aces, 56 winners and 61 unforced errors. Vik won 178 points in total – five more than Hewitt – hitting eight aces and 66 winners and unforced errors.

Afterwards third-seeded Hewitt was in reflective mood, insisting the three-hour and 46-minute victory would hold him in good stead for the rest of the championship.

"There was a lot of long rallies from the baseline, we are both not big servers so there was not a lot of cheap points," Hewitt, ranked No. 6 in the INDESIT ATP Ranking, said.

"But that’s what you do your off season work for and hopefully it is going to pay off over the next couple of weeks."

The Australian will next play Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina in the second round. Twelve months ago, Hewitt won a spiteful third round encounter at the same tournament that resulted in Chela being fined for unsportsmanlike behavior for spitting in Hewitt's direction.

While Hewitt recorded his 19th five-set win from 27 career matches that have gone the full distance, ninth-seeded Chilean Fernando Gonzalez was not so fortunate. Gonzalez was knocked out by American qualifier Alex Bogomolov Jr., 4-6, 7-6(6), 6-3, 6-7(3), 7-5 in four hours and five minutes.

Gonzalez proved as powerful as ever from behind the baseline with 80 winners, but hit 85 unforced errors and recorded a first serve percentage of 55%. Bogomolov Jr. hit 53 winners, 55 unforced errors and 71% of first serves into court.

There was better news for two seeds in night matches on day two.

Czech Tomas Zib provided little resistance for former World No. 1 Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 15th-seeded Spaniard. Ferrero hit 31 winners in his 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 victory in just 97 minutes.

While France’s Sebastien Grosjean cruised past Australian wild card Mark Philippoussis, who currently languishes at No. 165 in the INDESIT ATP Ranking. Grosjean, the No. 25 seed, committed just three unforced errors in his 6-4, 6-2, 6-3 win over the former Wimbledon and US Open finalist.
