Anyone miss the OLD Lleyton Hewitt. The intense, "C'mon" player days that seems far behind him.?

The last time I saw Hewitt as the player he used to be was when he was in the Finals in the Australian. Since then he has retreated back to his thin, less muscular physique, lost him intensity, and has had a string of less then common injuries. (falling down the stairs and breaking his ribs for example). He rarely says c'mon anymore and has really lost his fire that made him so great. Does anyone else agree?

Yes. I agree. He seems to still have most of the skill he used to have, but something else is missing - likely the intensity. Watching him at Wimbledon made me long for the days when he could have challenged Federer, because I am sick of Roger winning all the time in London.
Reply:Well he's getting older and he has kids he have to retire soon because he will have to take care of his kids and the fact that hes older O_o
Reply:He has been gone for quite sometime. Part of it is, as you


mention he's getting old...married...kids....He has also lost


focus of the game and when you loose many matches, you


have a loosing tendency to be beaten even by lower ranked


players.





No more fun watching him these days....
