Whatever happened to Lleyton Hewitt?

Remember Lleyton Hewitt? Surely you do... Angry Aussie with a shock of blond hair, the sheer embodiment of the 'never say die' attitude and winner of the Wimbledon title in 2002?

''Aaaaaah, that Lleyton Hewitt,'' we hear you say. ''Whatever happened to that Lleyton Hewitt?''

We'll tell you, he's just won his first round game all the way out in the suburbs of Court No.12, beating Kel Nishikori 6-1, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, and he celebrated like he'd won a trophy, so we can only guess what his reaction will be like if he makes it back to Centre Court this year.

Mahut v Isner hasn't lived it up to it's billing, the American has just completed a straight sets win over the Mahut. It wasn't quite as straightforward as it sounds, though, they still managed two tiebreaks, but Mahut just didn't have enough to keep to big man's powerful game at bay. 7-6, 6-2, 7-6.
