During the spring 2007, Lleyton Hewitt worked with Cullum Beace especially during the AMS Hamburg 2007, it was a really surprise when I read on TV, during this tournament, the name of this new coach three years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.162.106.44 (talk) 16:19, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
"...perhaps the most prestigious of the four Grand Slam in tennis tournaments." - That's too biased. And it was written by an Australian. What do you think? --webkid 15:46, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)
What, no mention of the controversy when he seemed to imply that a black referee was favoring a black player, or when he called an umpire a "poof"? Both times he had to apologize publicly. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 09:06, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
I don't think Hewitt apologised publicly for criticising the black linesman. It's unusual for tennis players to apologise for crticising umpires, and since it was incorrectly asserted in many places that his remarks were racist, he probably considered it foolish to apologise and lend credence to those accusations.

Tell that to the Aborigines!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.23.166.125 (talk • contribs)
By saying "look at him (umpire) and then look at him (Blake) and you tell me what the similarity is" - there is no need to defend it - both were men of color, and so Hewitt thinks it is his inherent right to dispute calls because they were in collusion because in his "non-racist" mind, the men of color did things he didn't like, by ruling against him, and playing against him? Give me a bloody break! That's all that he meant. Australia is a tolerant country? Yet another attempt to pave over truth and reality. Very tolerant gang violence on the beaches there! Congratulations - you act like the USA, only the USA did things like that in the 1950s, you get to carry it to a new century and millenium.
I'm disappointed in Lleyton. Australians aren't all racist of course. But he is, I think. I don't understand is that really matters what kind of skin do you have? How many melanin are there? Hewitt is disgusting.--Aishe 21:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

How important is this? Will Lleyton Hewitt be remembered for this? How does this contribute to his career? In any case, not only is this section lacking in any write-up and elaboration, I think it lacks any importance. It will be more worthwhile if we replace it with his Grand Slam singles finals performance (he has four)--like other players' pages. Joey80 08:45, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

This page seems to be too biased, focusing on the negative aspects of Hewitt rather than a neutral perspective.
The introduction makes the average reader think Lleytin Hewitt is the most notorious tennis player ever.
I admit I'm not a fan of Hewitt and do dislike his personality on court, but the introdcution is NOT what an encylopedia should be. It shoul dbe more neutral than that.
The introduction needs some serious work (by soeone who knows what they're talking about of course)

i changed the last paragraph to "Going into the 2006 Championships at Wimbledon, Lleyton Hewitt firmly established himself as second favourite after a comfortable title win at the main warm up event to Wimbledon - Queens Club Championships. He survived a five-set scare against South Korea's Hyung-Taik Lee that continued on over two days. He then disposed of Olivier Rochus and David Ferrer before losing in a very unconvincing display to Marcos Baghdatis in the quarterfinals." and had a message saying it would be kept, howcome it has changed back?

This one doesn't have a watermark on it. Anyone know how to put it up?
One hundred thousand lemmings can't br wrong/ 10:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I would suggest that the article is re-structured. Right now, there is a major section called "Tennis Career". This, however, contains lots of non-tennis stuff (personal life) and all the off-court things. I therefore suggest a section focusing only on on-court tennis activcities. Then a "controversies" section where all the shouting, alleged racism, "most-hated-non-Argentinian-tennis-player-to-play-Argentina-in-Davis-Cup" prize, etc., can be placed. Then, perhaps the personal life stuff could be relegated to either a trivia section (which is almost there in any case), or be put in the very beginning (where usually people's maritial status is mentioned). I would be willing to write it up, if people think it is a good idea. As of now, the article is a mess. Not worthy of a two-time GS winner and 20+ ATP winner.--HJ 09:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
User 212.189.1.166 has done a lot of constructive (albeit uncommented) edits introducing a Masters finals performances section and GS runner up results. I was just wondering whether this fine work is a bit redundant? I left the following message on the user's talk page:
Any comments? My suggestion is that the new edits should only stay if the whole results part is rewritten (so it features GS, Masters and Masters Cup, Other ATP tournaments). There should not be repetitive contents--HJ 22:27, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Completely without discussion at the talk page and without any comments, User:NWill has added this section on August 29. I think this is rather uninteresting additional information. Does anyone else have opinions on this, or is this talk page not to be taken seriously?--HJ 00:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
The doubles picture of Hewitt with Philippopous has been moved into the inforbox. I think actually it is better to have no picture, than a picture of Hewitt with another person. Especially since the other takes up same space. I mean, this is not about them as a doubles pair. I therefore think it should be moved down to its earlier position later in the article.--HJ 20:21, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
I'll be removing several external links of Hewitt's behavior for more of a neutral point of view.--Tennislover 00:28, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
The article in Ido language is io:Lleyton Hewitt. Please add the link; thank you. io:User:Joao Xavier —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.161.187.154 (talk) 01:00, 6 March 2007 (UTC).
Didn't he call someone (umpire?) a spastic once? Outrageous, unacceptible, blackly amusing and classic Adelaide Lleyton ROxBo 02:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
What are the point of these? Try sort on dates in the list of Hewitt's victories. It just makes no sense absolutely. --HJensen, talk 22:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
What does "no. 1 ticket holder" mean? Does he have season tickets? If this is some kind of official standing as a supporter, it should be explained here or elsewhere. As it is, it doesn't even sound like English. 216.231.46.147 23:57, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
i agree , i say get rid of it too
i find that incredibly hard to believe. what does that mean? that he has never lost a game when it has gone to the 5th set? I say put a reference in there or get rid of it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.192.75 (talk) 13:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
It means he has won the match when it has gone to 5 sets —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrishello92 (talk • contribs) 22:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
The article states that, when Hewitt won the US Open in 2001, it made him "and fellow countryman Pat Rafter the only active ATP players to have won a Grand Slam singles and doubles title during their career". That is not true. Kafelnikov was still playing and he also has won Grand Slam singles and doubles. 80.200.42.218 (talk) 11:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
"No one beats Lleyton Hewitt sixteen times in a row - not even Roger Federer" Jenks24 (talk) 14:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
I think the article should mention something about this nickname and its origin (if known). Tad Lincoln (talk) 05:20, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Here's my review of this article. In short, there's a lot of work that needs to be done on Hewitt before GA status can even be considered, let alone granted:
The referencing issues alone would be enough to fail the article, but I did a read through as well. In short, the article is not at all well-written, and needs a rewrite big time before it can be considered for GAN. Here are some of those problems:
Due to the above, I have to fail this as a GAN. Do not renominate the article without addressing the concerns. Wizardman 03:07, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

The claim that Hewitt holds the record for "most consecutive appearances at Australian Open" with 20 is false. Federer made 21 consecutive appearances from 2000 to 2020. I don't want to take responsibility for fixing the table. Aky30 (talk) 20:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
