Best Australian in recent memory Rafter or Hewitt?

Question

Both won 2 slams, hewitt has many more titles to his name and 80 weeks at world no 1 compared to just 1 week for rafter Hewitt also won 2 masters cups and can come back in 2 a match after losing 1st set or 1st 2 sets. Rafter on the other hand won just 10 titles and was injured throughout his career.

Answer 1

I say Rafter is. He may have won fewer titles than Hewitt but Rafter made more of an impact in a shorter time. Just look at the 1998 summer hard-court season. How many people could beat Sampras twice in a month... coming back from a set down both times. His wonderful serve-and-volley game was a treat to watch too. If only he'd reached his peak at a younger age. He could have been a real contender for many slams.  Two majors, only 10 titles in all, but SO much better than the history books will record.

Answer 2

I would say Rafter, but it's a subjective answer.  I never did like Lleyton Hewitt.

Answer 3

rafter, without question...more slams

Answer 4

hewitt

Answer 5

HEWITT ALL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Rafter has two singles slams and one doubles slam the Oz open Rafter was a better and more exciting player he was able to beat the best player ever on occasion something hewitt hasn't been able to do. Besides Hewitt is a mean arrogant A- hole.

Answer 7

Hewitt.  But Rafter is better looking.  :-)
