Hewitt, the world number one and top seed won the title here in 2000 and now boasts and impressive 16-2 record from four appearances at the desert hard-court tournament. His only two losses at the Scottsdale Princess came in 1999 against Jan-Michael Gambill and two years later from Spain's now-retired Francisco Clavet. Hewitt now awaits the winner of the second semi-final between Australian Davis Cup teammate Mark Philippoussis and Argentina's Mariano Zabaleta. Hewitt, who has yet to drop a set this week, thrived in the fast conditions under cloudless skies. His performance is reassuring given his Masters Series title defence starting Monday at Indian Wells, California. The Aussie took a 4-2 lead in the opening set against the young American, whose father is former Australian player Phil Dent. But it didn't take much for Hewitt to take command as he dulled the big-hitting game of his unseeded opponent. Dent gave a flicker in the second set with a break for 3-1. But that burst of inspiration was short-lived, with Hewitt breaking straight back to return to an even keel. The top seed got to 4-all, then broke one more time. Dent was playing in Scottsdale for the first time. The serve-and-volleyer won a tournament last month in Memphis and - before running into the impeccable Hewitt - had won 16 of 17 sets. ------------- Hewitt Tops Dent to Reach Templeton Final SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Top-ranked Lleyton Hewitt dismissed Taylor Dent of the United States 6-2, 6-4 Saturday in the Templeton Tennis Classic semifinals. Hewitt will play Mark Philippoussis (news) or Mariano Zabaleta in Sunday's final. "I was in a bit of a zone passing-wise and returning-wise today," said Hewitt, a finalist three times in four Scottsdale appearances. "I was pleased with the way, after he would play a great game, I was able to come back and play a great game. I felt pretty good out there. I was seeing the ball well." Hewitt has won all three matches against Dent, whose biggest asset is his serve. Hewitt, of course, is a top returner. "I just tried stepping it up on his serve," said Hewitt, the 2001 U.S. Open and 2002 Wimbledon champion. "I was actually standing in closer than a lot of guys would on his serve. There's not a lot of guys can return his serve as well as I did today. He has a huge serve. I tried to take away his weapon as much as possible, and it paid off." Dent, a winner last month in Memphis, had won eight straight matches and won 16 of his last 17 sets before facing Hewitt. He entered the tournament ranked a career-high 42nd. "Just not solid enough," Dent said. "I hoped I could step up my level of play. I couldn't make enough volleys." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.csie.ntu.edu.tw) ◆ From: 140.112.7.59
