Aussie Hewitt Accused Of Homophobia During Davis Cup Match
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/07/071805hewitt.htm

He may be a hot blonde, but Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt has a mouth like a trucker.

Playing Argentina's Guillermo Coria in Davis Cup action on the weekend at the Sydney International Tennis Center, Hewitt, ranked second in the world, let loose a barrage of swear words, name calling and rude gestures.

"Numerous times he said, 'Allez, come on', the whole day as well. He grabbed his private parts at one stage, three times in a row, and I'm about to serve and I asked him if he had an issue - or if he could find it ," Coria said following the match.

1. Hewitt is also a known racist
He has said that the aboriginies in Australia are animals. Hewitt once called out an African American linesman at the US Open and accused him of calling out his shots falsely, claiming the linesman was biased towards James Blake who is also African-American...He is a classic Aussie racist and homophobe. A really disgusting man who is hated world wide by other players.

4. Not only by other players...
...but also fellow Aussies as well. I cannot stand him. Never have, and never will. As for that thing he is marrying. I used to like her until she said yes to him.

5. Partner, who watches this sort of thing
Just hates him, not specific, but thinks he's a little racist pig.
