 2005 Australian Open News - January 30, 2005
The 100th of the Australian Open may not have been marked with a home grown champion but for those not born in the place known as ‘the Lucky Country’, there was still plenty to celebrate in Marat Safin’s 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Lleyton Hewitt.
The Australian must have himself to blame after he romped through the first set from a nervous Safin and the break he gained in the third after the Russian had levelled the match would have buoyed his spirits again.
Hewitt’s pain at missing his chance to become the first Australian since Mark Edmondson in 1976 to lift his home grand slam trophy will sting for some time, but he has little to berate himself for after a series of typically stoic performances to get to the final.

Lleyton Hewitt's fractured Australian Open build-up took another twist today when he secured aspiring golf professional and one-time Davis Cup teammate Scott Draper as coach for the Melbourne Park grand slam.
The Australian Open final is on January 27 so should Hewitt make even the semi-finals, Draper may find himself in a rare position similar to which he experienced in 2005 when he was forced to make a series of mad dashes between Melbourne Park and Kingston Heath to fulfil clashing tennis and golf commitments.
