		Newcombe, the three-time Wimbledon champion who in 1974 was also the last Australian top seed in the men's singles at the All England club, believes Hewitt needs to take a modified leaf out of the book of lawn tennis tactics that his friend and mentor Patrick Rafter followed into the last two finals.
		They will be in his corner throughout the Wimbledon Championships and, quite possibly, for the final itself unless someone gets under his skin early on or Tim Henman lasts until the semi-finals and finds a chink in the otherwise impregnable suit of armour that Lleyton Hewitt has worn for the past year or so.
		Elsewhere, former Wimbledon winner Richard Krajicek made a return to the court on Monday after a 20-month injury layoff, only to be ousted by Roger Federer in round one of the Ordina Open at Den Bosch, in the Netherlands.
