Some of you reading may say surprise surprise, but the Australian proved to be his usual battling self by taking the first set off the Swiss father of two and proving again that the Federer does not like to be rushed or dictated around the court. Other opponents should take note, but sadly many never do and simply get blown away when they step onto the court.
Hewitt's 'C'mon's after the first set were not as regular as he eventually went down 6-4, 3-6, 5-7, 4-6 but he did show that he still has the game to take it to the best the ATP has got to offer.
In contrast, Sharapova showed that she is still showing more interest in what she wears on the court rather than how she performs. She looked great but her tennis was not, and US teen Melanie Oudin took full advantage winning 7-5 in the third set. Having said that, credit must go to her for being able to play any sport wearing as much jewelry and make up as she does.
In other US Open news, Sharapova's former flame and local favourite Andy Roddick was also on the end of a shock result and was knocked out by an unseeded compatriot, John Isner, 7-5 in the fifth set.
Apart from those upsets the usual suspects are still in the running and the second week should bring us some dream matches. Plenty to look forward to.
