By the time he returns to Wimbledon next summer aged 30, Lleyton Hewitt belive he will still have his chances to win a second title.
The Aussie took the trophy in 2002, he exited at this just-completed edition in the fourth round to Novak Djokovic.
But that defeat does not dent the legendary Hewitt confidence. "I'd much rather be in my position of coming back at 30 and won it before than never have won it and trying to win your first one," he said. "I'll come back, give 100 per cent and see what happens. That's the upside."
Hewitt had given himself a chance at Wimbledon by winning the grass-court Halle title in Germany last month over Roger Federer. The six-time champion Swiss was eliminated in the Wimbledon quarter-finals by Tomas Berdych, who later put out Djokovic.
Hewitt's summer schedule on hardcourt will be full-on, with entries at Atlanta, Washington, Montreal and Cincinnati before the US Open in New York.
"I need a little bit of luck always," admitted the optimistic Aussie. "If things fall my way, there are a lot of positives to take out of this. My body is standing up well, I can compete with the top guys at this level."

i don't see any quote that suggests Hewitt thinks he has a chance of actually WINNING Wimbledon, which is good, since he doesn't.
but yes, he certainly has a chance of doing well. Quarters and even semis if he gets the right draw. But his days as a serious Grand Slam contender are long over.

I'm one Aussie that WON'T be banking on Tomic. I'm keeping an eye on the boy's runner-up at Wimby this year, Benjamin Mitchell. Very humble and gracious in defeat not like Tomic at all :)
