I'm number 4!rnitya_25 said:you said it so well, but......gay for roger?! wth?!
again, who were the 3 idiots that voted for hewitt?!
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:I saw this and had to reply.
I cannot articulate how deeply I hate Hewitt. I seriously cant. He's a totally self-absorbed prick. He's rude, unsportsman-like and a sore loser. At least Federer has some class and maturity.

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
and does that not distract them? does that not put them off their game?... said: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
DrownTheCrow said:and does that not distract them? does that not put them off their game?
its a mental psyche out
... said:haha yeah, it does
just that it makes him looks like a wanker and its the only way to get him the wins..too bad its the only thing he is good at
Imagine what tennis would be like if all the players had Hewitt's 'unorthodox' conductDrownTheCrow said: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 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
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: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.
