And that’s Lleyton Hewitt done at Queen’s, a tournament he’s won four times. “Obviously I laid it all on the line today,” he says, before thanking the tournament for giving him a wildcard. The crowd give him a big hand as he says lovely things about both the tournament and London. He’s presented with a trophy and a massive bottle of champagne, with his name written on it in what looks like rhinestones. Jazzy.
Anderson wins 2-1 (6-7, 7-5, 6-2)
3rd set: Anderson 6-2 Hewitt* (*denotes server - 1-1 in sets)
Hewitt gets annoyed with a line judge who corrected his own out call, but not enough to stop him playing a terrific inside-out forehand.
