Hewitt Claim Djokovic Will Win Wimbledon

Lleyton Hewitt claims Australian Open Champion, Novak Djokovic will be the man to conquer Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal at the 2008 Wimbledon Championships which begin the 23 June.

How would Hewitt know? Well, he was beaten by Djokovic on Friday at the Queen’s Tour in the quarterfinals- and having won Wimbledon in 2002, knows exactely what he’s talking about. Hewitt has fallen to the Serb in the last 3 matches they have played.

“Last year he obviously beat me in a tough match at Wimbledon, then beat (Marcos) Baghdatis in a tough match, took the first set off Nadal before he forfeited in the semi,” Hewitt said.

“Up till then he hadn’t really had great success on grass, so he’s just going to get more and more confidence playing on grass over the years.

“He moves as well as anyone out there. He can flatten the ball out, and he’ll make life tough for both Roger and Rafa.”

Hewitt has, over the past year, moved down the rankings and one cant help but to feel his hopes of winning another Wimbledon Title are low. With an ever increasing hip-injury, Hewitt will begin practice at the beginning of next week in Wimbledon, All England Club.

Yesterday the continuation of work on Wimbledon’s new-look Centre Court took place. Yesterday the All England Club announced a few changes for Wimbledon 2008 championships, including a £750,000 winner’s cash for the men’s and women’s singles, the first of a set of 70-ton “trusses” – 75-metre-wide coat-hanger-shaped structures which will span the width of the court – was successfully lowered into place over the new roof.

After the 2007 crowd was left exposed to arguably one of the wettest Wimbledon fornight’s in recent memory following the removal of the old roof, the new fixed cover will provide protection at the wimbledon 2008 tournament. By the 2009 championships a retractable cover will also be in operation, allowing for play in any condition, although the All England Club insists it will not be a prelude to regular night sessions.

There will be 1,200 more places on Centre Court compared with wimbledon 2007, taking the centre court capacity to 15,000. Most of the other new features on Wimbledon Centre Court will be up and running this year. There are improved catering facilities, including a rooftop bar for debenture holders, and a new Wimbledon shop.

They have also started working on the new No 2 court, which will be operational from 2009. The 4,000-capacity stadium, which is being built on what was Court 13, has a sunken playing surface, 3.5 metres below ground level.

Total Wimbledon prize money has been increased by 4.7 per cent to £11.8m. The 2 singles champions will receive £750,000 each, a 7.1 per cent increase on last year, while prize money for each of the men’s and women’s doubles competitions will exceed £1m for the first time.

Andy Murray was yesterday knocked out of the Open Sabadell Atlantico Barcelona at the second-round stage, losing 6-4 6-4 to the Croat, Mario Ancic. Murray squandered a handful of break points in losing to the world No 51.
