Lleyton defeated by Boris Becker 6-1,
6-4, 7-6
Wimbledon-Becker crushes Hewitt
By Robert Woodward
LONDON, June 26 (REUTERS) - Boris Becker crushed Australian teenager Lleyton Hewitt 6-1
6-4 7-6 on Saturday to reach the last 16 in his farewell Wimbledon but another former
champion, Richard Krajicek, was knocked out by a Swiss qualifier.
Becker, 31, was superb, serving and volleying in front of a rapturous centre court with
the athleticism of a man 10 years his junior. Hewitt, apart from a brave rally in the
final set, had no answer to the grasscourt skills of the
three-time winner.
