New York (AFP): Australian warhorse Lleyton Hewitt battled to a stunning five-set US Open win over Argentine sixth seed Juan Martin Del Potro on Friday, relegating Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic to supporting roles.The 2001 champion defeated the 2009 winner, 6-4, 5-7, 3-6, 7-6, 6-1 in the tournament’s biggest shock to date.
Hewitt, 32 years old and down at 66 in the rankings after a lengthy battle with injuries, served up a trademark warrior-like performance that recalled his golden days when he was world number one and Wimbledon champion. It was his 32nd career five-set victory and gave him a third round match-up with Russia’s Evgeny Donskoy, the world number 102. Hewitt’s pyrotechnics overshadowed the progress into the third round of defending champion Murray and world number one Djokovic.
