Hewitt wins third-rounder at Wimbledon

Wimbledon, England (Sports Network) - Former champion Lleyton Hewitt was a third-round victor on a rainy Tuesday at Wimbledon.
The 16th-seeded Hewitt got past 22nd-seeded Argentine Guillermo Canas 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 on yet another rain-interrupted day at the venerable All England Club. Hewitt was leading 3-1 in the third set when the match was suspended because of rain here on Monday.
The former world No. 1 Hewitt is a two-time major titlist, including a Wimbledon championship in 2002. He also captured a U.S. Open crown, in 2001.
Another former top-ranked star, Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero, booked a spot in the quarterfinals by handling Serbian Janko Tipsarevic 7-5, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5). The 2003 French Open champion Ferrero, seeded 20th at this grass-court fortnight, is rewarded with a match against reigning four-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer.
Ferrero will appear in his first-ever Wimbledon quarter and is only the fifth Spaniard in the Open Era to advance this far at the All England Club.
Sixth-seeded Russian Nikolay Davydenko, who typically plays his worst tennis on grass, moved into the fourth round by handling inconsistent Frenchman Gael Monfils 6-3, 7-5, 6-3.
Davydenko should have his hands full with 10th-seeded 2006 Wimbledon semifinalist Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus in the fourth round on Wednesday.
