Lleyton Hewitt's Wimbledon is over, the Australian being defeated by Andy Roddick in the quarter finals,
but not without an almighty struggle that went for 5 sets and over 4 hours. After Roddick took the first set it
became a war of attrition, with neither player conceding a point during two absorbing tiebreak sets before
Hewitt finally landed a break in the fourth set to force the match into a decider. But in the end it was the
class of the American which won through, Roddick taking the match 6-4 in the fifth.
Roddick set up a semi final date with Andy Murray, the Brit being too classy for Juan Carlos Ferrero and
taking out a straight sets win.
Roger Federer also made it through in straight sets, although the margin flattered the Swiss ace who
was pushed all the way by a determined Ivo Karlovic. Only a 12th game break in the second set and an
epic tiebreak in the third got Federer through.
Federer's semi-final opponent will be Tommy Haas. The German veteran, enjoying a purple patch of
form, was too good for 4th seed Novak Djokovic and progressed in 4 sets.
