| | Hewitt holds a commanding 5-0 h2h lead over the veteran including 2 wins on hardcorut and one on the Swede's beloved grass. Bjorkman is getting no younger and his weary legs showed against Blake in Toronto after he started so well. His serve and volley are still fairly precise, but his movement into the net is slow and good accurate baseliners will often dip it at his feet or to the side where he'll be found wanting. His lack of weaponry off the ground also makes it hard for him to break an opponent's serve, an area of the game that the Aussie has improved immensely. Admittedly, Hewitt hasn't played since Wimbledon and could be a little rusty on the hard stuff, but he's the ultuimate professional and is no stranger to playing through pain which he'll again do here with his chronic hip yip. He is used to arriving at tournaments with minimal match-play, and his record against serve-volleyers is a testament to his accuracy, speed and defensive skills. He'll be keen at setting up a clash with Nadal, and it's hard to see how old Jonas is going to stop that given Hewitt's love for representing the Aussie flag. |

| | Small bet on Björkman. It is the Olympics, it is his last year. |

| | Paddy power are clearly feeling generous, offering Lleyton at 1/10, and I will be including him in a large first round accumulator. |
