Federer breaks home hearts

Second seed Roger Federer (pictured) turned in a majestic display to send Lleyton Hewitt crashing out of the Australian Open today.

Federer exacted long-awaited revenge for epic defeats in the Masters Series final and Davis Cup semi-final by capitalising on a moment Hewitt let his concentration slip and charged away to a 4-6 6-3 6-0 6-4 victory.
