Hewitt Makes It 2-0 in Perth
Lleyton Hewitt has given Australia a 2-0 lead over Morocco at the end of day
one of the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas play-off tie in Perth and, in doing so,
has broken an Australian Davis Cup record that has stood since 1948. He has
now won more Davis Cup singles matches than any other Australian.
The 23-year-old barely put a foot wrong against Moroccan Mehdi Tahiri, ranked
507 in the world, winning 60 62 62 in just under 90 minutes. The win –
Hewitt's 25th singles win in Davis Cup – extended Australia's lead in the
tie to 2-0 and made him the most prolific winner of singles matches for
Australia in the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas, breaking the record he held with
the late Adrian Quist.
"It was something that I never thought about 'till the Adelaide tie (first
round this year) if I had to play that fifth match, I could have been playing
it then and obviously I would have loved to have played it in my hometown, a
fifth match in a live rubber, it wasn't to be," said Hewitt. "Obviously the
build up coming here, knowing that we are not playing the best strength team
on paper but knowing I had an opportunity to break a record, it was a good
bonus to look forward to playing this tie.
"It's pretty amazing because Todd (Woodbridge) has the most doubles wins as
well the most ties played, the most years played, and I've got the singles.
Poor old Adrian Quist has copped it the last couple of years."
Hewitt demolished Tahiri, winning the first six games and then went on a run
of nine consecutive games before closing out the match.
Hewitt said the match against the 27-year-old Tahiri was an "awkward match"
and that he and Arthurs had everything to lose and not a whole lot to gain.
And on a grass court things can be a bit of an equaliser, especially if an
opponent serves well.
But Hewitt's confidence is high at the moment. He has had a great run in the
last couple of months, reaching four consecutive finals including the US Open,
and winning two.
