Happy memories for Hewitt

Lleyton Hewitt drew on the memories of his epic Davis Cup victory over Roger Federer in September to will himself through an “arm-wrestle” of a match against Spain’s Juan-Carlos Ferrero and give Australia a 1-0 lead in the final.

Hewitt has not played since that five-set thriller against the Swiss star, when he came back from two sets down to seal Australia’s place in the final, and the experience remains fresh in the mind.
