Davis Cup: Fireworks as Hewitt fights back to give Australia 1-0 lead over
Argentina
SYDNEY (AFP) - Lleyton Hewitt won a feisty four-set dog-fight with Guillermo
Coria to give Australia a hard-earned opening singles win over Argentina in
the Davis Cup World Group tennis quarter-final here on Friday.
The world number two fought back from a break down in the opening set to win
the 173-minute duel, 7-6 (7/5), 6-1, 1-6, 6-2 over the world No.15 and give
Australia a vital edge over the South Americans in what is anticipated to be
a bitterly-fought tie.
Argentina's number one David Nalbandian was next on court to take on
34-year-old Australian Wayne Arthurs in the second singles match.
Bad feeling escalated in a tense fourth set when Coria appeared to hit a
smash directly at Hewitt, who in turn looked to mouth an obscenity in the
Argentine's direction after slamming down an ace on the next point.
But the pair shook hands at the net after Hewitt wrapped up the match to take
his Davis Cup win-loss record to 27-5.
"I didn't complain nearly as much as they (Argentina) did so there was a lot
of wasted time out there and someone should have a look at that," Hewitt said
in a court-side interview after his win.
"If Coria's not complaining then the captain really shouldn't be
complaining."
The referee later confirmed that there were no official warnings given to
either player during the match.
Coria played his best tennis in the first set, but after a service break down
Hewitt fought off four break points in the seventh game which ultimately
proved decisive.
Hewitt looked unable to get into a rhythm against the Argentinian number two
who reverted to his claycourt game and stayed on the baseline during long
rallies.
But Coria's punishing forehand which had troubled Hewitt began to go off as
the Australian raised his level and broke back when the Argentine's backhand
hit the tape.
Coria played a great point at 4-4 in the tiebreaker, making a terrific
recovery shot and then slicing deftly across court for the winner.
But Hewitt forced Coria into forehand and backhand errors to fight back and
take the set in 67 minutes after looking for the most part in trouble.
The Australian broke Coria in the opening game of the second set when his
powerful forehand forced the Argentine long and grabbed service breaks in the
fifth and seventh games to wrap up the set and a 2-0 lead in 37 minutes.
Coria, coming more into the net, kept alive in the rubber by ripping through
the third set in 28 minutes with three service breaks as Hewitt went off the
boil.
Hewitt revved up the home crowd when he raced to three break points in the
fifth game of the fourth set and upon Coria's forehand sailing long, the
Australian theatrically jigged to his court-side chair leading 3-2.
Tensions boiled over when Coria remonstrated with Portuguese chair umpire
Carlos Ramos leading to Coria to hitch his shorts and point angrily to his
right groin area. It was not immediately clear what provoked the heated
exchange.
In the next game the feeling between the pair became obvious when Coria
mimicked Hewitt's 'vischt' hand salute and then slammed a smash straight at
the Australian and offered an apology, but Hewitt had turned his back.
On the next point Hewitt fired home an ace and turned towards Coria and
appeared to mouth an obscenity, which did not appear to register with the
chair umpire.
Coria was a spent force when Hewitt broke him in the seventh game for a 5-2
and although a break point down serving for the match he sunk to his knees in
jubilation when Coria's forehand sailed over the baseline on match point.
※ 引述《zerkchu (惆悵感)》之銘言:
: Coria wanted 'to kill' Hewitt
: By Robert Smith
: July 15, 2005
: ARGENTINA'S Guillermo Coria said he felt like killing Lleyton Hewitt after a
: combustible opening singles match in which insults were traded like volleys
: after their Davis Cup World Group tennis quarter-final today.
: The world No.2 won a feisty 173-minute duel, 7-6 6-1 1-6 6-2 to give
: Australia an early edge in what is shaping up to be a bitterly-contested tie.
: Coria launched into an amazing tirade against Hewitt, claiming the Australian
: abused him and his captain Alberto Mancini.
: "As a person outside the game it's one thing, but on the court I really felt
: like killing him," Coria said through an interpreter at his post-match press
: conference.
: "He can be the best player in the world, he can win every tournament but he
: cannot behave the way he does, abusing the captain, abusing the other
: players, abusing everyone. I won't repeat what I heard out there."
: Hewitt, who has been criticised for bad sportsmanship and cheering his
: opponents' mistakes, countered by saying he did not abuse Coria.
: "If the worse thing I do is say 'come on' out on the court, I don't think
: it's that bad compared to the guy spitting in the referee's direction when he
: wasn't happy with the call," Hewitt said.
: "He wasn't happy with the court surface, and he tried hip-and-shouldering
: (bumping) me at the end of the first set and he complained the whole day, I'm
: not quite sure what his issue is.
: "I abused him? I didn't say one thing to him for the whole match. I asked him
: at one stage when he was grabbing his private parts at me, numerous times,
: and I asked him if he had an issue."
: Hewitt was particularly incensed by Mancini's actions during the match.
: "The worst thing for me was that their captain who has been mouthing off all
: week about sportsmanship, the whole time he's over talking to the referee
: every second point on my service games. Now, if that's sportsmanship I'll run
: to China, that is absolute rubbish."
: In an extraordinary outburst, Coria went after Hewitt, reopening old wounds
: that first surfaced during the Australian Open with on court incidents with
: Argentineans Juan Ignacio Chela and Nalbandian in Melbourne last January.
: "(Spaniard) Rafael Nadal jumps and does a lot of gestures on the court, but
: he doesn't celebrate your own mistakes. Whereas Lleyton cheers for other
: peoples' mistakes and he's very aggressive," Coria said.
: "It's very difficult not to feel provoked and not to get into his game, but
: as a person I would rather not to win a single tournament in my life and be
: like him."
: Coria was also scathing about the drop-in grasscourt, which was damp at one
: shadowed end and forced play to start half an hour later than scheduled to
: enable it to dry out.
: "It was a disaster, if it happened in Argentina, the International Tennis
: Federation would create problems for us," Coria said.
: "The court was very damp, I'm sure the Australians feel exactly the same way
: as we do about the surface and in a normal tournament this wouldn't be
: allowed.
: "It doesn't even look like Wimbledon, not even the training ground.
: "But let me emphasise, I did not lose because of that, and if we lose the tie
: it won't be because of that, we're not making any excuses, let's make that
: quite clear."
: Hewitt returned fire, calling Coria's "needling" performance as dumb.
: "I'm still struggling to deal with what I actually did wrong. To be perfectly
: honest, he's arrogant, and he lost the match today and he's looking for every
: excuse in the book. He's a sore loser," Hewitt said.
: "It didn't feel like a tennis match, but it was dumb by them. Very rarely
: have I lost matches when people try to get into my face.
: "What Chela did (spitting) at the Australian Open was disgraceful and it's
: carried on and I don't think David Nalbandian is the cleanest guy about the
: hip and shoulder (bump) at the Australian Open. He caused that situation at
: the Australian Open and he tried to act dumbfounded after the match."
