BIG NEWS!!!!!!!
Roche to coach Hewitt
SYDNEY, July 18 (Reuters) - Australia's Lleyton Hewitt has hired Roger Federer's former coach Tony Roche to try and help him get back to the top of world tennis.
Hewitt has been without a fulltime coach since Roger Rasheed quit the job shortly before the Australian Open in January but announced on Wednesday that Roche had agreed to take on the job.
"I'm really looking forward to renewing our partnership," Hewitt told a news conference in Sydney.
"We both know what we need to do to get to the top of the game again."
His compatriot Roche had coached world number one Federer on a part-time basis from 2005, but the pair parted ways just two weeks before this year's French Open.
Hewitt won the U.S. Open in 2001 and Wimbledon the following season and was the youngest man in history to finish a year ranked number one in the world.
He held the top ranking for a total of 80 weeks from 2001 to 2003 but has not won a grand slam title since and has slipped to 21st in the world.
Hewitt, who has worked with Roche in the past in Australia's Davis Cup team, said he hoped the 62-year-old would be able to bring out the best in him.
"He's a very positive guy, he's obviously one of the best coaches in the world.
"Ever since I first started working with Rochey as a teenager that really set a good platform for me to become the best player in the world.
Roche, who also coached Ivan Lendl and Pat Rafter to the number one ranking, said he was confident he could help the combative Hewitt rediscover his best form.
"That's the goal. I think we've got to shoot for the top," Roche said.
"I wouldn't be doing this job if I didn't think Lleyton had a chance of winning a grand slam."

08 January Herald Sun MARK Philippoussis's road to recovery from knee surgery could follow an unusual route - as a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. Philippoussis, 31, was yesterday due to undergo a fifth knee operation after injuring his right leg during the Australian Open wildcard play-off. However tennis and entertainment circles are buzzing with speculation Philippoussis is poised to extend his TV career by appearing on the hit show. The Wimbledon and US Open finalist last year was the central figure in American dating reality show The Age Of Love. If invited to join Dancing With The Stars, the former world No. 8 would become the third Australian tennis player to feature on the program. Alicia Molik and Todd Woodbridge have been on the show. Woodbridge said it left him fitter than he had been in years, with relentless practice leading to significant weight loss. Scud might yet have a role at next week's Australian Open. The dual Davis Cup winner last season appeared as a guest commentator and would be free to again contribute in the early stages of what is expected to be a long rehabilitation. Philippoussis has told friends he wants to play tennis at the highest level again. Sydney surgeon Merv Cross and his Miami colleague Harlan Selsenick were to be involved in Philippoussis's latest surgery. Philippoussis has not played on the regular tennis tour since 2006 because of recurring knee injuries. |
