Aussie anguish as Chela ends home boy Hewitt’s hopes

JUAN Ignacio Chela revelled in his sweet win. A year ago the lanky Argentine was beaten by fierce rival Lleyton Hewitt in a spiteful third-round match at the Australian Open.

Yesterday, it was Chela’s turn to celebrate.

No sooner had Chela’s big forehand pass sealed a 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (8-10), 6-2 victory in front of a capacity centre-court crowd willing the local hero on, than Chela was doing his own little victory dance at the baseline.
