Blake Beats Hewitt for 5th Title

James Blake beat former No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 to win the Tennis Channel Open in Las Vegas, NV. This was Blake's first win in seven tries over the tenacious, repugnant Australian. A few years ago at the 2001 US Open, Lleyton Hewitt made enemies of very many Black tennis fans around the world by making a racially insensitive mark during a hard-fought second round match against James Blake. This only one of the very many reasons to hate Lleyton Hewitt and cheer when he loses.

But MadProfessah is also cheering for an African American tennis player winning another ATP tour title and reaching a career-high rank of Number 14 in the World. And he's phyne!
