LONDON, June 30 - Australian Lleyton Hewitt
completed a five-set victory over stubborn South Korean Lee
Hyung-taik to reach the Wimbledon third round on Friday.
The two players were level at two sets-all when poor light
halted play on Thursday and sixth seed Hewitt took the fifth set
on Friday to win 6-7 6-2 7-6 6-7 6-4 on court one.
The 2002 champion broke decisively at 5-4 and sealed victory
when Lee netted a forehand, prompting furious celebrations from
the Australian.
On Thursday Hewitt had recovered from 6-3 down to win the
third set tiebreak 8-6 against 30-year-old Lee, the world number
102.
In the third round he plays Belgian Olivier Rochus, who held
four match points against Wimbledon champion Roger Federer at
Halle two weeks ago before losing.
