10 September 2004
Joachim Johansson is threatening to drive a wedge through the Hewitt family
after he beat Andy Roddick to reach the semi-finals of the US Open on Thursday.
The Swede will play Lleyton Hewitt in the last four in a match that will test
the loyalties of the Australian's sister Jaslyn, Johansson's girlfriend.
"You can't pick your brother but you can pick your boyfriend, so I hope
she'll support me," Johansson said.
"Lleyton and I are good friends. I hope we'll be good friends after Saturday."
The 22-year-old Johansson, the 28th seed, will be playing in his first Grand
Slam semi-final.
He added: "I was supposed to be playing golf with my dad in Scotland this
weekend but I'll have to change my plans now."
"It's going to be a very tough match. It will be a little bit weird but
we know each other's games well. I'm going to have to serve well and move well."
Hewitt, the 2001 champion, trounced Germany's Tommy Haas 6-2 6-2 6-2 in his
quarter-final.
