I asked him at one stage when he was grabbing his private parts numerous times .. I asked him if he had an issue. I don't think he understands English too well." The warning signs were there before the match began. The last time the teams met in Davis Cup, Argentina beat Australia 5-0 on clay in an often acrimonious match at Buenos Aires in 2002. And Hewitt had several run-ins with Argentinian players at this year's Australian Open, including Nalbandian. Hewitt and Arthurs are scheduled to play Nalbandian and Mariano Puerta in doubles Saturday, and it could be Hewitt vs Nalbandian in the reverse singles on Sunday, so stay tuned. Hewitt, winning for the 27th time in 32 Davis Cup singles matches for Australia, came from a break down in the first set and fought off four break points in a marathon seventh game before prevailing in an opening tiebreaker. Lleyton cheers for other people's mistakes and is very aggressive It is very difficult not to feel provoked.
But as a person, I would rather not win a single tournament than be like Lleyton." Hewitt countered by saying he felt he did nothing wrong during the match, and accused Coria of trying to physically intimidate him "If the worst thing I can do is say 'Come on,' ... if they think that's bad compared to spitting in the referee's direction," said Hewitt. Accusations of spitting and crotch-grabbing added to the spite. Coria, who described the condition of the court as a "disaster," said Hewitt's behavior in the match - and generally on tour - was inexcusable.
"Inside the court you really feel like killing him," Coria said through an interpreter. "He can be the best player in the world and win every tournament, but he cannot behave the way he does. He was abusing the captain, abusing the other players, abusing everybody "You can see for yourself. During the fiery Hewitt-Coria match, both players often mocked each other on winning points, there were frequent complaints by the Argentinians to the chair umpire over the damp court surface and Hewitt swore loudly and verbally abused Coria late in the match.
