Hewitt continued his excellent summer run with a spirited 6-4 5-7 3-6 7-6 (7-2) 6-1 victory over the sixth seed and has a golden opportunity to venture even deeper in the grand slam draw. Champion in 2001 and contesting his 13th US Open, Hewitt will play little-known Russian Evgeny Donsky on Sunday for a spot in the last 16 after producing the biggest first-week shock of the tournament.
