Melbourne, Sep.13 (ANI): Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt believes that a short preparation time won't hurt Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer heading into the Davis Cup World Group playoff tie in Sydney this week.
Swiss team management revealed on Tuesday that Federer would arrive in Sydney on Wednesday, just two days before the tie starts.
"For a freak like Roger, it doesn't matter," Hewitt told reporters on Tuesday.
"I haven't seen a lot that Roger hasn't been able to do, so he's as close to Superman as it comes," the Age quoted him, as adding.
Hewitt was pleased with his physical condition after missing the US Open through injury and said he was prepared to play both singles and doubles if required.
Switzerland's second-ranked player Stanislas Wawrinka revealed he was battling a foot injury he suffered at the US Open, but hoped to be fit for Friday.
Switzerland boast the two highest ranked singles players in the grass court tie, with Federer at No.3 and Wawrinka at 14.
Asked what it will take for Australia to win the tie, Hewitt said: "I'll have to play a lot better than my ranking I guess, 188 in the world probably won't do it." (ANI)
