Resurgent Hewitt could be man to halt ‘invincible’ Federer

LLEYTON HEWITT continued his dramatic grasscourt re-emergence by swatting aside the challenge of Italian Filippo Volandri to reach the second round at Wimbledon in style.

The 2002 champion fell out of the world top 10 due to a persistent ankle injury but his fourth Queen’s Club crown two years ago set him up for another title challenge.

And the way in which Hewitt disposed of the world number 5-6 6-1 6-1 6-3 sent out a clear warning to his rivals in the bottom half of the draw – maybe even the seemingly invincible Roger Federer.
