Hewitt to face Federer

Lleyton Hewitt lined up a clash with five-time champion Roger Federer in the last 16 of Wimbledon after disposing of Italian Simone Bolelli today.

The Australian flew out of the blocks following the rain delay to claim the opening two sets at a canter, and though the 22-year-old Bolelli showed more aggression in the third set, Hewitt came through in the tie-break to win 6-1 6-3 7-6 (7/2).
