Lleyton Hewitt will meet big serving Andy Roddick in the third round at Queen's club, and he is excited over what is set to be a perfect Wimbledon preparation for both men.
The 2002 Wimbledon Champion Hewitt is seeking his fifth title at Queen's, as is opponent Roddick. The Aussie Ace described the upcoming match as a perfect test to get in shape for SW19:
"It's a good test a week or so before a big major like Wimbledon," said Hewitt. "We've both got good records here at Queen's, so hopefully it's a good match."
Many beleive that Lleyton Hewitt's best years are well and truly behind him, after ebing outclassed by the likes of Roger Federer o many occasions since his triumph in the grasscourt showpiece seven year's ago. Likewise, Andy Roddick's best chance of winning at SW19 may have been when he lost in the final to Federer, having been a set to the good.
The pair's match up at Queens however will hand some vital confidence and edge to the winner, and there may be one last strong campaign at the All England Club left in one of them. Andy Roddick is a best priced 28/1 with Sportingbet to win at Wimbledon, whilst Lleyton Hewitt is 200/1 to roll back the year's with Paddy Power. The Championships begin on Monday June 22.
