I also thought Lleyton was the last Aussie to win the AO but I was wrong when I looked up his stats. He reached the Finals once but lost to Marat. I didn't bother checking further.
Yeah, that's why I put a smiley on Nick because we all know that he has tantrums in and out of the court. And I think we have discussed him numerous times here as a complete waste of talent. He could have been great and probably the best Australian player in the last decade but he didn't reach his true potential.
So let's hope that he can carry the flag of the Australian next year.
Oh ok, my hunch is correct, although Hewitt is good during his prime unfortunately he didn't win the AO although I'm sure he had at least one Grand Slam maybe US or Wimbledon against one of the greats Pete Sampras.
