Fired Up Hewitt Rallies Past Moya

　　美国大师杯网球赛在休斯顿开战，澳大利亚人休伊特在因雨推迟的首场比赛中，反败为胜以2-1战胜了来自西班牙的莫亚，与瑞士的费德勒暂时并列积分榜的首位。

A fired-up Lleyton Hewitt underlined his determination to end the season with a third Masters Cup title as he rallied past Spain's Carlos Moya 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 to complete their rain-delayed opening match Tuesday.

Returning to the Westside Tennis Club under gloomy skies and just two points from taking the opening set, Hewitt's play was as dreary as the Texas weather, allowing Moya to claw back from 5-4 0-30 down to claim the set in a tiebreak 7-5. But the Adelaide fighter, Masters Cup champion in 2001 and 2002, was quickly back to his fist-pumping best in the second set as he twice broke the Spaniard on the way to a 4-0 lead. Hewitt, who enjoyed a superb hard-court campaign with back-to-back titles in Washington and Long Island and a place in the US Open final, met unexpectedly tough resistance in the third set. Nursing a shoulder injury that prevented him competing on the European indoor circuit, the Spaniard refused to be run off the court by the energetic Australian. "He didn't look like a bloke that hasn't played for a few weeks," said Hewitt. "He's a hell of a player, he really is." A relentless Hewitt finally make the breakthrough in the seventh game, however, with two fist-clenching winners to secure the break and a 4-3 lead. Moya continued to fight but finished the match without earning a break point on Hewitt's serve. The win left Hewitt tied atop the Red Group standings with world number one Roger Federer of Switzerland, who opened with a 6-1 7-6 win over Argentina's Gaston Gaudio. "I feel like I'm playing well," said Hewitt. "Obviously through the US summer I feel like I played extremely well the whole way through and ran into a red-hot Federer in the final of the US (Open).
