Hewitt eases thru' at Queen's
Tuesday, 9 June 2009
Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt cruised to an easy first round victory over Eduardo Schwank at the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club, reports BBC.
Australian Hewitt raced to a 6-1 6-0 victory over his Argentine opponent as he begun his bid to win Queen's for the fifth time in his career.
Meanwhile, British number three Josh Goodall failed to progress.
Goodall squandered four set points during his clash with Luxembourg's Gilles Muller, losing 6-3 7-6 (9-7).
The 23-year-old Brit, who received a wildcard into the tournament, was up against it after losing the first set.
His task became harder when wasting three break points to reduce the arrears to 5-4 in the first.
The Englishman was as wasteful in the second when he squandered four set points to eventually lose out (9-7) in the tie-break.
"I felt I should have won the second set," said Goodall.
