Hewitt spared early clash with Federer

Lleyton Hewitt has landed in the same half of the Wimbledon draw as Roger Federer
and Andy Roddick - but won't run into either of last year's finalists until at least
the quarter-finals.
Australia's 2002 champion will open up against lowly-ranked Argentine Maximo
Gonzalez, with his first real test likely to come in the third round against dynamic
Frenchman Gael Monfils.
Hewitt, who was elevated from his ranking of No.26 in the world to No.15 seed
following his surprise victory over Federer in last week's final in Halle, is
scheduled to meet Serbian fourth seed Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.
Fifth-seeded Roddick awaits in the quarter-finals and, should he get that far,
Hewitt would likely run into six-time champion Federer in the semis.
