Saw a bit of the Rome masters tournament today and yesterday and what struck me most was the extremely early exit of the former #1 from down-under. Lleyton seemed distinctly un-Hewitt like. There were no fits of anger, no fist pumps, no "come on's" he didn't even have that tenacity that made his game so interesting to watch when he was on top.
So what's happened to Lleyton? Has he grown bored with tennis and the grind of the tour now that he has his famous wife and a tiny child? Has he grown tired of losing week after week to the same guys on top who seem to have figured his game out? Or is he simply a casualty of the heavy toll that the ATP takes on a body? Regardless of the reason, it seems obvious that Hewitt must adapt or fade off into obscurity.
