休伊特：費德勒實在太優秀 我離世界第一不遙遠
因賽場上空不停降雨而打打停停了三次的溫網男單1/4決賽終於在全英俱樂部的中心
球場全部結束，賽會頭號種子費德勒以令人信服的強大實力3-1(6-1/6-7(1)/6-0/6-4)淘
汰休伊特後殺入四強，半決賽中他的對手將是格羅斯讓與德國人梅耶爾的勝者。
賽後，經歷了激烈搏鬥的雙雄都接受了媒體的採訪。休伊特表示：“當你在溫布爾
登這樣的大滿貫賽事上輸掉比賽後，無論如何都是令人十分沮喪的。和世界上最優秀的
選手比賽，當你贏得比賽機會的時候你一定要抓住，我非常遺憾自己並沒有做到這一點。
我相信自己距離排名第一的位置不會太遙遠，在這場比賽中我認為自己發揮了水平，但
是要清楚這是在溫布爾登，總是會留有一絲遺憾。”
“今天的比賽非常精彩，大體上來說是一場勢均力敵的較量；但是費德勒做得太好了
，他無愧於當前世界上最優秀的網球選手。我對今天自己的表現感到滿意，在比賽中我盡
了自己最大的努力，賽前我也做了充分的準備。”
“從比賽中可以看到，我距離比賽勝利其實並不遙遠，如果在第四盤我能抓住那個破
發點，那麼場上的形勢就會改變，從而將比賽帶到第五盤。”
費德勒在賽後表示：“對方在比賽中表現出了令人難以置信的頑強。每次在我發球以
後，他都能以令人吃驚的回球來應付我，很遺憾他遭受了第一個破發而丟掉了首盤比賽。
“這是一場艱苦的較量，正像我所預料的那樣。第一盤和第三盤相對來說我更早的拿
到了局點，比賽相對好打了一些，而後面的第四盤對手給我制造了很多的麻煩。”
盡管休伊特輸掉了比賽，但是在兩個人的交手紀錄中休伊特仍然以8-5領先。好在兩
個人都還年輕，雙方的精彩較量以後還會不斷上演。

Federer Fights Past Hewitt
When Roger Federer is playing at his peak, no one can touch him. When he is
playing under pressure, he is still too strong for even the best. And when
he is not playing well, he just refuses to be beaten.
Federer was simply magnificent as he marched past Lleyton Hewitt 6-1, 6-7, 6-0,
6-4 to reach the semi-finals. Hewitt may have raised his game by several
notches now that he is back at the All England Club, and he may be the best
counter puncher in the business, but he could do nothing against the defending
champion. He tried, he always tries, but Federer was simply too good.
The first set came and went in the twinkling of an eye - 22 minutes, if you
prefer bald facts - as Federer served with aplomb and returned with authority.
In between, he was lashing his forehand and planting his backhand. He could do
no wrong and much as the crowd wanted their money's worth, they could only
marvel at the magical powers of the champion in front of them.
A rain delay at the start of the second set slowed the Swiss slightly and,
returning to work under leaden skies, he started to make a few more mistakes
than in those opening 22 minutes. Then again, he had only made two unforced
errors in the first set so a fluffed backhand here and there was hardly going
to make him panic. All in all it allowed Hewitt to keep pace with his rival
until, at 5-5, the rain returned.
These delays were becoming a nuisance. If Federer was aiming for perfection,
the least the weather could do was try and follow suit. Both interruptions
lasted around an hour and that was just long enough to disrupt the Swiss
movement. Coming back for the third act of this quarter-final, Federer made
a hash of the second set tiebreak - he won just one point - but that was the
last error he was prepared to countenance.
At the start of the third set, the champion saw his chance. Three sloppy
shots from Hewitt presented Federer with a break point. This was too good to
miss and, pouncing with a backhand, Roger was himself again. From taking that
2-0 lead, he took off, running away with the set and wrapping it up in 26
minutes. Back to his majestic best, not even Hewitt's swift legs could come
anywhere near him, much less catch him.
Hewitt, being Hewitt, was not going to give up without a fight and, launching
one last assault, he ran himself ragged in pursuit of Federer's serve. He
chased, he scampered and ran after lost causes until finally, he got his
reward: a 4-3 lead. It was the first time Federer had been broken at The
Championships since the quarter-finals last year.
Hewitt's moment of celebration was not to last, though, and with a double
fault in the next game, he dropped his serve to relinquish that hard earned
advantage. It was the final straw and, asked to serve to stay in the match a
few moments later, he threw in another double fault on match point to send
Federer through.
