Wimbledon 2005, Day 11
Lleyton Hewitt said he will go home and work even harder to try and bridge the gap with Federer.
"I've got to bide my time, keep grinding away and try and look for the answers I guess," said the 24-year-old world number two, who was swept aside 6-3, 6-4, 7-6, his eighth successive defeat by Federer.
"I felt like I've lifted my game over the last 18 months or so. I've got no doubt that I feel like I'm the second best player going around right now. It's just that the best player is pretty bloody good."
Hewitt has not won a Grand Slam title since beating Argentine David Nalbandian at Wimbledon in 2002, the year after he stormed through the U.S. Open.
