The Australian third seed has lost his last seven matches against the Swiss top seed and defending champion. He said: "He doesn't have a lot of big weaknesses out there, but you've got to try and pin something down." However, Federer declared: "Lleyton has beaten me enough to believe in his chance. On grass, I think anything can happen against him." Hewitt, who still feels he should have been seeded second to reflect his world ranking and 2002 Wimbledon title, said patience will be a virtue when he takes to Centre Court at 1300 BST. "When he's played his best tennis, he's nearly been unbeatable in certain matches," said the 24-year-old. He has been the supreme player, especially on grass Lleyton Hewitt on Roger Federer Report: Hewitt sees off Lopez "You've got to clean up your service games and wait for your opportunties, but you're not going to get a whole heap. "That's where he's gone up in the last couple of years - he's playing the big points really well." Despite his recent dominance over Hewitt, Federer's head-to-head record against him currently stands at 9-8. But he has not lost to the Australian since Hewitt battled back from two sets and 5-3 down in their 2003 Davis Cup semi-final encounter. When asked about that 'famous' defeat, Federer jokingly said: "I don't remember." But the Swiss star, chasing his third straight Wimbledon crown, claimed in all seriousness: "In a way, that match gave me a lot of confidence. He knows how to win the title - it's a tough match ahead of me Roger Federer on Lleyton Hewitt Report: Federer eases past Gonzalez "He beat me on many occasions before that, but I really had the feeling that I could dominate against Lleyton for the first time. "I think that's why I could turn the series (between us) around for me." Hewitt maintains, however, that he has a good chance of levelling that record to reach his second Wimbledon final. "You've got to believe in yourself, and I believe I can do it," he said, adding: "There are little areas where I think I might have a slight advantage." Which areas? "I won't be telling you," said the straight-talking Aussie. -- Federer的反拍穿越球 就像瑞士的鐘錶一樣 精準無比!! --
