Hewitt: This is why I still play. To have moments like this
Lleyton left some comments about the match “I was obviously trying to regroup but the conditions were tough out here.
He was struggling with it for a set and a half, and then he started to find his range a bit more and I was sort of playing a bit more defensive. I had to try and turn the tables. I felt physically I was starting to get a little more on top of things through the fourth set. He played a great game to break me when I served for the fourth set as well. I played one of the best tie-breaks of my life.”
And I an on-court interview he said “This is why I still play. To have moments like this,”
