I think Hewitt is under-rated. He is much better then people think. He has just had some injuries lately. He got in the quarters and lost to Roddick in 5 sets, and his only STARTING his comeback.

I love this camera angle.

definitely one of federer's most hard fought win between 2004 to 2008 in the US open

right up there with Agassi in 2004 and Djokovic in 2007

@davd1986 fully agreed :-)

@davd1986 Haha I couldn't agree more with you man.

@kelman221 I think the real prime of Federer ended at the end of 2007 when he swept through the Shanghai Masters Cup.  After that, and with the mono, he lost a step and his confidence. Obviously some players caught up, but he still was making it deep in slams (still is). 7 straight slam finals from Wimbledon 2008 to Australian 2010 (won 4 of them). Not too shabby for a guy past his prime, eh? New players are always welcome, especially now that Djokovic is winning. Ugh!!

@WindsweptHQ He is still past his prime either way, please tell me you aren' the generic fanboy that thinks Federer is always perfect no matter what :). I can't wait to see the next generation of players.

[WindsweptHQ]

@kelman221 yeah of course...*note sarcasm* he nearly beat the best player this season at the US, he beat him at the french.

[kelman221]

@WindsweptHQ He is past his prime I am afraid, oh well on to new people. Maybe someone with more personality.

one of fed's most beautiful matches/tournaments

[WindsweptHQ]

Back then tennis was Federers yard, I just wish he finds a way to get back to his best.

Man I miss how fearless Federer used to be. Looking at the scores of some of the points in this video, I noticed a lot of the points he plays cautiously or passively on today, would be the same type of points he'd just be all over back in the day.

I miss this Federer.
