Split toenails ground Lleyton

LLEYTON Hewitt could be sidelined for up to six weeks with a toe injury.
The world No.2 yesterday withdrew from the rich Nasdaq-100 in Miami after
severely injuring toes on his right foot in Indian Wells last week.

Plagued throughout his career with feet problems - a legacy of pounding
hardcourt baselines around the world - Hewitt will undergo minor surgery.
It is understood some of his toenails have lifted and split because of
the lack of give on hardcourts.

Andre Agassi was unable to take to the court against Hewitt last week
because of a similar problem.

Hewitt returned to Australia yesterday to receive treatment from Davis
Cup doctor David Brooks. He aggravated the problem during a tight three-set
semi-final victory over Andy Roddick - now the most likely beneficiary of
his absence from the tour.

While the Australian extended his rankings gap over the American by reaching
the Indian Wells final, he has now left the door ajar for Roddick to reclaim
the world No.2 position.

Hewitt leads by 450 rankings points in the entry system - 4305 to 3955 -
but a long lay-off will allow Roddick to close quickly.

The Australian Open finalist is not expected back on tour until the Hamburg
Masters series in May.

He will use the German claycourt event to prepare for the Arag World Team
Cup in Dusseldorf ahead of the French Open. He will then lay siege to a
second Wimbledon title.

Apart from helping Australia to a 5-0 Davis Cup thrashing of Austria in
Sydney, Hewitt has been in superb form this season.

Assessing his current form to be the equal of that he produced during a
two-year stint as world No. 1, he has built an 18-3 record this season.

The right-hander has contested just four events, reaching three finals.
Beaten in the Adelaide quarter-finals by Taylor Dent, Hewitt won a fourth
Sydney crown before losing the Melbourne Park final to Marat Safin.

He was beaten at Indian Wells by nemesis Roger Federer.

Hewitt reached the third round in Miami last season.
