Perth, Jan 05: Attila Savolt, whose Hungarian team squeezed through the qualifiers with victory over Canada on Saturday, never stood a chance. "Yeah, I played well, very well," Hewitt smiled. "I was really able to work him around and it is nice to come away with a win. "I have been training really hard since the Davis Cup... I have barely had a day off since then. " Hewitt then teamed up with Molik to crush the Hungarians 7-6 6-1 and complete a 3-0 opening day whitewash.
Next up for the host nation is Belgium on Wednesday, a match that will pit Hewitt against fiancee Clijsters in the mixed doubles.


Hewitt had no tips for Molik about how to beat his betrothed in their singles clash. "I don't know mate, she beats me too," he laughed when asked if he knew of any chinks in the Belgian's armour.
