Federer, Hewitt Set for Cincinnati Tennis Showdown

Federer has a 12-7 career record against Hewitt, winning the last 10 meetings, including eight days ago in the quarterfinals at ATP Masters Series Montreal. Federer is trying to reach his eighth final (4-3) and Hewitt his second final (1-0) of the season.

"I really think this court suits his (Hewitt's) game even more because it's quicker than last week," said Federer. "Last week was already pretty good for him. But by becoming so fast like this week, I have the feeling it's going to be a tough match tomorrow."

Since the beginning of 2004, Federer has compiled a 289-21 match record (.932) and won 38 titles in 59 tournaments. His 49 career titles ties him for No. 9th place in the Open Era with Boris Becker.

Blake, 5-0 lifetime against the Russian, is looking to advance to his fourth ATP final (1-2) and Davydenko his first final of the year.

"I've been fortunate to play him every time on hard courts, and I've played some of my best tennis," Blake said of Davydenko. "I try to attack him. He's not a guy that overpowers you with just one shot or serve or anything like that, so you get a chance to get in the points a lot." (ATP Digital Services)
