Spadea [56] advanced to the semifinal as a qualifier, and at the time it was his best result outside Grand Slams (quarter-final at Aussie Open ’99). Actually he should have won the opening set in which he led 4:1*, 4:2 (40/30) – played a volley off a ball that was going out, and 5:4 (30/0) when lost an 18-stroke rally trying to play backhand down the line winner. In the tie-break Spadea saved two set points to commit a double fault at 5:6. Hewitt [1] finished the match with a perfect FH-stop-volley.
