Hewitt humbles Sampras in US Open final
2001- The kid could have played all night. He was scampering around the court, still single-minded, still fresh, after six opponents and one controversy. It’s great to be 20, particularly in tennis. Pete Sampras looked very old at 30 and Lleyton Hewitt looked very young at 20. “He’s got the best return in the game,” Sampras said after being totally thwacked, 7-6 (4), 6-1, 61, in the men’s singles final of the US Open.
