maybe the poll should be "which current aussie tennis player you hate the most"
Atticus.
how do i get out of this
ever met the man? hewitt is a dead set champion off the court... the whole on court act is just that... he psyches out his opponents and gets in their head, tennis is just as bigger mental game as it is physicalMaryJane said:
why do you think federer had such a crazy strong hold for so long? the same with sampras? they are brain players. they had all their opponents walking onto the court thinking they were more likely to lose than win... thats a HUGE advantage in any tennis game and trust me i should damm well know
hewitt? ok so his conduct is unorthodox, but by god it works, and to be honest i think he doesnt really give a shit about what people think about him. he is there to win, simple. you cant blame him for that
i voted federer because i think he is a pure sportsman. he is a professional in every sense of the word. but that doesnt mean i dont admire lleyton hewitt

next time i go onto the courts, i'll start asking the umpire why the linesmen are the same colour as her/him
that will psyche my opponents out
oh and btw, Hewitt's opponents do not get "psyched" out, they get fucken annoyed whenever Hewitt make those "c'mon" shouts

I was about to say "Completely shit", but then I realised that it really can't get much worse :>whiterabbit said:Imagine what tennis would be like if all the players had Hewitt's 'unorthodox' conduct
Federer, Hewitt makes me want to stab him in the face.
i agree more than i can say. his stupid 'cmon' shout with the hand signal pisses me off so much! my dad gets more angry than i do. sometimes he turns off the tv in anger towards hewitt's stupidity on court. people think he's a good athlete and a very high class sportsman. what's a sportsman without being a sport about it? he bloody hell used to chuch a tantrum/psycho everytime he used to lose. now he can't coz he's used to losing

Drownthecrow is right about the psychological toughness you need to win in tennis. Hewitt's on court antics probably win him a lot of close contests. It's definitely a deliberate tactic, but not a commendable one. Most players after all prefer to let their tennis do all the talking.

Atticus.

haha yes but most players will never reach the ranking hewitt has held nor the will they win a slam or two like hewittBenny_ said:
i like hewitt because he has a fuck you attitude, he doesnt care, he is there to win, nothing else. being that focused is commendable
if he's there to win, then why doesn't he? he does care, not just about what people think of him, but about what people think of the way he plays. do you know how many times he's been charged with racket abuse? he has issues

Federer, Hewitt sometimes is over the top.
Hewitt is not that bad. Sure the fist pumps and c'mons are annoying, but he is no worse in that regard than Nadal or that wanker Roddick. Also, I am so sick of people bringing up that James Blake incident. It was a dumb remark but I wouldn't say it conveyed any racist hatred, just stupidity. It was four years ago, Hewitt apologized and Blake accepted his apology - get the fuck over it already.
Federer is the classiest guy on tour and I'm sure if anyone other than him was chosen for this poll Hewitt would have a lot more votes

sorry to break if to ya, but i doubt that! you read back on the thread and see the aggravation people feel for hewitt. people hate him so much it exceeds the number of votes going for him. he's needs help....roddick is alrite. he can be a good sport in games. he's no.2 so he should be happy
