Hewitt is undaunted by the string of losses. "Obviously I would have liked to win once in a while, but there is not a lot of players that have been able to win too many matches against him," he said. "Every time I step on the court I give 100% anyway. Tomorrow is going to be no different."
Both players took out local favorites in the semifinals -- Federer defeated Philipp Petzschner 7-6, 6-4 while Hewitt won 6-7, 7-6, 6-2 against Benjamin Becker.
