They will not have to play him in the final and they must be overjoyed about that. We will have a first time winner of the AO in 2005.

True, I bet they just wet themselves. Who has the better head to head with Safin?

gm3106 · « **Reply #2 on:** January 27, 2005, 07:50:14 AM »

Roddick, at 3-2, has.
With Hewitt its 5-5.

This should be an interesting semi. Hewitt just got through with (2) 5 setters. Roddick has been sleep walking through his lame ass draw. If Roddick wins that match (doubtful) he may have a chance against someone who just played 4 1/2 hours against Federer.

If Hewitt wins, and it takes him a long time to win, he will have to be exhausted. Maybe they can play wheelchair tennis for the finals. I hope the finals is high quality and not 2 tired guys running around.

I'm taking Roddick over Hewitt - purely on the basis of Hewitt's last matches going to four hours each. And as you pointed out, Roddick is as fresh as possible.

Sorry, I got it wrong, the head to head between Hewitt and Roddick is 4-1 in lleyton's favour, inlcluding two wins in slams, both in 2001. The first was in the 3rd round of the FO and theother in the QF of the USO, which Hewitt went on to win.

All I can say is:

Gilbert hopes RodDICK loses.
Kim hopes Lleyton loses.
I hope Safin wins.

Same here. I actaully did pick Roddick to win though. So either way...
If Hewitt takes it though, then I'm really f*cked.
