Lleyton Hewitt and Juan Martin Del Potro devastated their first round Wimbledon opponents, and when they face each other in the second round it has all the makings of a classic.
Both players won in straight sets while only dropping 6 games the entire match and neither player spent much energy in securing victory.
The winner of Hewitt vs Del Potro should have a clear path all the way to the quarterfinals of Wimbledon as the talent in that section of the draw isn't too deep. In fact only Hewitt, Roddick, and Del Potro can be considered threats for the semifinals from that quarter of the draw.
Del Potro is the five seed and he is playing the best tennis of his young career. Hewitt is a former champion who seems to always have a reservation booked for the round of 16 at Wimbledon.
Del Potro is in command of his game on all fronts, he's been deep in the last three Grand Slams, including a semifinals appearance last month at the French. Only Federer was able to stand in his way and even that took Federer five sets.
As good as Hewitt, a former champion, has been at Wimbledon all good players eventually run in to a young up and coming hot shot that gives them their first hint that its time to retire. It would be surprising if Hewitt saw a fifth set tomorrow and our recommendation is to pick Del Potro for a three or four set victory.
