Bec Hewitt (second row, right), watches the first round match between her husband Lleyton of Australia and Michael Russell of USA on day two.

Hewitt was lucky to keep alive Australia's chances of ending their search for a first home-grown men's champion since 1976.

He fought tooth-and-nail for a 3-6, 2-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 win over the American qualifier.
