Hewitt backs Murray to beat Roddick
LLEYTON Hewitt today backed Andy Murray to beat Andy Roddick and become the first male British player to reach the Wimbledon final since 1938.
Murray cruised into the semi-finals with a 7-5 6-3 6-2 victory over Juan Carlos Ferrero yesterday, and then had the luxury of sitting back to watch Roddick edge a five-set thriller with Hewitt on Court One.
The pair will now clash in tomorrow's semi-finals at the All England Club and 2002 champion Hewitt believes Murray will come out on top on Centre Court.
"I think it's going to be a tough one for Roddick to win," said the Australian, who defied a leg injury to twice come back from a set down against Roddick to force a decider which the American won 6-4.
"When I've seen Andy Murray at his best, I think he matches up extremely well against Roddick.
"It's going to be an interesting match."
