Talk:Lleyton Hewitt

message: During the spring 2007, Lleyton Hewitt worked with Cullum Beace especially during the AMS Hamburg 2007, it was a really surprise when I read on TV, during this tournament, the name of this new coach three years ago.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.162.106.44 (talk) 16:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

message: "...perhaps the most prestigious of the four Grand Slam in tennis tournaments." - That's too biased. And it was written by an Australian. What do you think? --webkid 15:46, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I wasn't able to see this version of the article. But if this pertains to Wimbledon, then the statement has substance. Because of its history, the tradition and the being one of only a handful tournaments played on grass, it is widely regarded as the most prestigious.Joey80 03:21, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

message: How important is this? Will Lleyton Hewitt be remembered for this? How does this contribute to his career? In any case, not only is this section lacking in any write-up and elaboration, I think it lacks any importance. It will be more worthwhile if we replace it with his Grand Slam singles finals performance (he has four)--like other players' pages. Joey80 08:45, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll put this section in this discussion page (in case some editor think it is too important that this be included). Meanwhile, I'll replaced the one in the article with the Grand Slam singles final performances.

text: These results are close to meaningless. Numbers can be VERY deceptive in tennis. A 6/4 6/4 win can be a walk in the park, while a 6/1 6/2 could easily be a very hard-earned victory!--HJ 21:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  =====Found a better picture===== 

message: I would suggest that the article is re-structured. Right now, there is a major section called "Tennis Career". This, however, contains lots of non-tennis stuff (personal life) and all the off-court things. I therefore suggest a section focusing only on on-court tennis activcities. Then a "controversies" section where all the shouting, alleged racism, "most-hated-non-Argentinian-tennis-player-to-play-Argentina-in-Davis-Cup" prize, etc., can be placed. Then, perhaps the personal life stuff could be relegated to either a trivia section (which is almost there in any case), or be put in the very beginning (where usually people's maritial status is mentioned). I would be willing to write it up, if people think it is a good idea. As of now, the article is a mess. Not worthy of a two-time GS winner and 20+ ATP winner.--HJ 09:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revised structure of article? Please comment 

message: User 212.189.1.166 has done a lot of constructive (albeit uncommented) edits introducing a Masters finals performances section and GS runner up results. I was just wondering whether this fine work is a bit redundant? I left the following message on the user's talk page: 
: == Edits on Lleyton Hewitt == 
:Nice edits on the Lleyton Hewitt article. I was, however, wondering whether the separate sections on Masters finals performances and Grand Slam runner ups are needed? All information (except for scores in losing finals) are already in the article.--HJ 22:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sections on Masters finals performances and GS runner up result 

message: Completely without discussion at the talk page and without any comments, User:NWill has added this section on August 29. I think this is rather uninteresting additional information. Does anyone else have opinions on this, or is this talk page not to be taken seriously?--HJ 00:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be a difficult issue because only relatively recent players' prizemoney can be calculated, and the earnings are by-the-numbers, not involving taxes.  It doesn't seem to be present in many other sports except tennis; but if removed here then they'll need to be removed everywhere - from Sampras to Federer. Australian Matt 12:08, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ok. I wasn't aware of how widespread it was.  But as an economist I just find these thing downright silly. You mention taxes, and there are lots of other things making these figures only indicative (e.g., allegedly Kurnikova was in Top-5 regarding income, even though she never won an single (no pun intended) tournament; so prize money is a bad indicator for "success"). But I won't touch it. Nice with some response here at the talk page. Thanks! --HJ 16:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  ATP Tour career earnings 

message: The doubles picture of Hewitt with Philippopous has been moved into the inforbox. I think actually it is better to have no picture, than a picture of Hewitt with another person. Especially since the other takes up same space. I mean, this is not about them as a doubles pair. I therefore think it should be moved down to its earlier position later in the article.--HJ 20:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The article states that, when Hewitt won the US Open in 2001, it made him "and fellow countryman Pat Rafter the only active ATP players to have won a Grand Slam singles and doubles title during their career". That is not true. Kafelnikov was still playing and he also has won Grand Slam singles and doubles. 80.200.42.218 (talk) 11:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The claim that Hewitt holds the record for "most consecutive appearances at Australian Open" with 20 is false. Federer made 21 consecutive appearances from 2000 to 2020. I don't want to take responsibility for fixing the table. Aky30 (talk) 20:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
