    # Their third meeting, and very similar match to their first encounter – Hewitt [6], the defending champion, wins in straights being slightly better at the end of both sets. Henman [11] had mini-set points in both sets, at 4:3 in the opener and 5-all (three BPs in total) in the 2nd set, having already served at 5:4. “They say I had a chance last year, but I lost in the first round,” Hewitt said about Wimbledon. “I’ve got nothing to lose this year.” Hewitt is defeated by Escude in the fourth round of 2001, he has to wait another year to lift the most prestigious trophy.

    Hewitt’s route to his 8th title:
    2 Xavier Malisse 6-4, 6-3
    3 Byron Black 6-3, 6-2
    Q Greg Rusedski 6-4, 6-4
    S Pete Sampras 3-6, 6-3, 6-2
    W Tim Henman 7-6(3), 7-6(3)
