LLEYTON Hewitt's tumble into unseeded territory for the first time in almost a decade has come at a cost. If he makes the second round, he'll face Rafael Nadal. The Australian will return to Olympic competition on Sunday against Swedish veteran Jonas Bjorkman, who will retire at the end of the season.

But far from the lofty heights of his once permanent top-10 ranking, Lleyton Hewitt will compete as the world No. 20 - ahead of a fall to around 60th over the next two weeks.
Wimbledon and US Open winner is successful against gritty Bjorkman, he will be cast into the least-envied match-up in international tennis: a probable second-round clash with Rafael Nadal.

The domineering Spaniard will take over the world No. 1 ranking from Roger Federer in the next fortnight, ending the Swiss maestro's record 236-week reign.

And the French Open and Wimbledon champion will not want any unexpected hiccups against his good friend and practice partner Hewitt.

The pair shares a tight rivalry, which Hewitt leads 4-3.

Australia will be represented in doubles by Hewitt and Guccione and Paul Hanley and Jordan Kerr.
Dellacqua and Molik will combine in women's doubles, leaving Stosur and Rennae Stubbs to team up.

Lleyton Hewitt has beaten Swedish veteran Jonas Bjorkman in straight sets to book a second-round meeting tomorrow with Rafael Nadal at the Olympic tennis tournament in Beijing.

Hewitt rallied from a service break down in the second set to advance with a 7-5 7-6 (7-2) victory over 36-year-old Bjorkman, the oldest player in the men's singles draw.

After a hip complaint threatened to derail his Olympic campaign, Hewitt admitted the injury was still playing on his mind.

"I've probably been more worried since Wimbledon whether it was going to be right," the top ranked Australian said after the match.

"It wasn't too bad. There are still times when I can feel it now and then but it was good to get out of that second set and win it in straight sets."

Nadal, who will officially assume the world No.1 ranking from Roger Federer after the Games, earlier today outlasted Italian Potito Starace 6-2 3-6 6-2 in his first-round encounter at the Olympic Green Tennis Centre.

Hewitt admits Nadal will be a tough second round opponent, but knew he would have to face the in-form Spaniard eventually.

"A guy like Rafa, he's pumped up any time he walks out onto the court... that's his personality.

"Nothing's really going to change between a first round for him or a final.

"Obviously he handles semi-finals and finals extremely well."

Nadal insists Hewitt's world ranking belies his form.

"For sure he's one of the best players of the world but he's not playing all the time..." said Nadal.

"For sure he's a very dangerous player. One of the worst second rounds in the draw.."

Australia's Lleyton Hewitt has set his sights on revenge against Rafael Nadal in the Olympic doubles tournament after being bundled out of the singles by the Spaniard.

Hewitt, still feeling the effects of a marathon, late-night doubles match which set a modern-day record, fell 6-1, 6-2 to the incoming world number one.

But the 27-year-old Hewitt gets another chance for victory on Wednesday when he lines up with Chris Guccione against Nadal and Tommy Robredo.

"It's going to be a tough match. He plays a little bit of doubles, but not a lot," said Hewitt.

"'Gooch' and I got a lot of confidence out of last night's match. It was one of the most enjoyable matches I've been a part of, and I've played in some pretty big matches."

The Australian pair outlasted Argentina's Juan Monaco and Agustin Calleri 4-6, 7-6 (7-4), 18-16 in the early hours of Tuesday morning, the most number of games in an Olympic men's doubles match since the sport's return in 1988.

Hewitt, clearly not at his best after the late-night finish, never looked competitive against Nadal and was broken five times.

"It wasn't easy. I put a lot of effort into last night's match, probably didn't get to bed until about 3:00am," he said.

"So it wasn't the best preparation. Rafa's a tough enough player to play when you're feeling 100 per cent and fully fit and rested up."

Nadal got the expected breakthrough in game four and, despite a Hewitt break early in the second, was rarely troubled.

He laid a backhand past the Australian for the decisive break in the second set and converted the first match point when Hewitt netted his service return.

Nadal levelled their career head-to-head ledger at 4-4 and made it three in a row against the Australian.

Nadal, 22, will reach the number one ranking on Monday while Hewitt last occupied the top spot in June 2003.

Lleyton Hewitt avenged Tuesday night's straight sets exit at the hands of Rafael Nadal in the singles by stunning the Spaniard in the doubles on Thursday morning (AEST) at the Beijing Olympics.

Hewitt and Chris Guccione progressed to the quarter finals after beating Nadal and Tommy Robredo in straight sets 6-2, 7-6 (7-5).

The result was a major upset, with Nadal (108) and Robredo's (80) doubles rankings far outstripping the less-fancied Hewitt (634) and Guccione (253).

The win comes after the Australians prevailed over Argentinians Agustin Santiago Calleri and Juan Monaco on Monday evening in a marathon three-setter that continued long into the night.

That match clearly sapped the energy of Hewitt, who was soundly beaten by the incoming singles world number one Nadal the next day.

But Guccione and Hewitt made faster work of Wednesday night's match, and despite a tight last set the contest was over in an hour and 24 minutes.

The Australian pair will face top seeded Americans Mike and Bob Bryan in the next round.

Lleyton Hewitt and Chris Guccione ended Australian interest in the Olympics tennis tournament on Friday morning (AEST) when the doubles pair suffered a 6-4, 6-3 defeat to the United States.

The top seed US pairing, brothers Bob and Mike Bryan, easily accounted for the Australian duo that staged a major upset on Wednesday morning against Spaniards Rafael Nadal and Tommy Robredo.

Hewitt and Guccione's loss spelled an end to any hopes Australia still held of gaining a medal from the Olympics, with every player already eliminated from their respective singles draws.

Hewitt and Guccione started superbly, racing to a 3-0 lead in the first set, before they dropped serve to love at 4-1 and began to unravel.

Victory would have advanced Hewitt and Guccione to at least a bronze medal match.

Earlier, Australia's Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs bowed out of the women's doubles tournament with a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to Spanish duo Anabel Garrigues and Virginia Pascual.

Alas, Australia's participation at the Olympic tennis tournament is now all over.
