Hewitt was NEVER going to win Roland Garros.NEVER.He had better footwork and speed on clay than Sampras ever did but there have ALWAYS been better players
Simple he got outplayed by a better player on clay, this is what used to happen to Hewitt at Roland Garros. Not that he was a clay dummy, but it took good players on that surface to take him out.
Not really Hewitt always lost to better players on clay, he just didn't have the game to win 7 matches on clay. He was far from a chump on the surface.
@spatzlelg Yes, it will always be difficult for a counter-puncher to win Roland Garros, but I thought Hewitt really had a honest chance in 2004. All three of the Argentinian players Gaudio/Nalbandian/Coria, were all mental nutcases, so that alone I think really gave Hewitt a big possibility to get through. Gaudio was too good in the QF in the end, but I think Lleyton let him grow in confidence a bit as he made some poor errors in this match.
Hewitt didn't have the winning shots on clay, they could get the ball higher on his backhand. He didn't have the patience or the right tactics to win this event, in addition to the other factors. Gaudio is better on clay than Hewitt and no where else.
It's quite simple Gaudio didn't make many errors and his play forced Hewitt into errors as he had to do something different, which he was not capable of.
Grande pibe, estaba esperando que alguien suba un video del Gato donde este jugando su mujer nivel. Y encima todo el partido. POR FIN ! Que grande. Un placer para todos los que quieran ver como se juega al tenis, como se le pega a la pelota sobre todo de revés, y como se puede llegar a hacer arte con una raqueta y una pelota. GATO SOS EL MEJOR, MI IDOLO POR SIEMPRE, GRACIAS A VOS JUEGO AL TENIS. GENIO, MAESTRO. Grande pibe por postear esto.
