Even after a loss : Lleyton Hewitt gets the girl."
I wonder if he would have preferred a win.

found this(NSFW), but this isn't the girl who was in the stands at the Final, "long-time Russian girlfriend, natural medicine student Dasha Zhukova." find a pic yourself, if you are so inclined. I caught the end of the second set, and was blown away after the start of the 3rd. Was this it? Was Hewitt going to roll over the man who downed Federer? Hewitt manufacturered some masterful points, but at what cost? Too many strokes, too much effort, and not enough results. His shots were shallow, waiting for Safin to re-self-inflict the unforced error upon his game. Once Hewitt realized waiting for mistakes wasn't going to get him the win, he didn't change his game much. He seemed resigned to the fact he was second best on the day, and no vocal outbursts or 'home' calls were going to change that. and in light of post match events, his head was elsewhere. Timing is everything in life, they say. Hmm....I wonder why?

Good Lord... How does a girl not know her nipples are hanging out? Is it the same as with some troglodytes who walk around with snot hanging from their nostrils on cold days?
