Argentina Blasts Hewitt's Circus Jose Acasuso blamed Hewitt of setting up a circus before their clash in the Davis Cup	By Ovidiu Panzariu, Sports Editor 19th of September 2006, 07:17 GMT Adjust text size:


We all know that Lleyton Hewitt is not very keen on traveling to Argentina for the Davis Cup encounter this weekend. Considering the history between him and Argentine players throughout the years, the crowd in Buenos Aires is certainly not very fond of him. Moreover, as he already admitted a few months ago, some of the South-American players warned him about playing in Argentina. "I can't wait for him to have a taste of Argentine hospitality. I am waiting for him", said David Nalbandian, a player who had to put up with Hewitt's behavior during this year's Australian Open. And the confrontation between Hewitt and Argentina took an interesting turn this morning. After hearing that the former world no.1 hired a bunch of body guards to protect him from the Argentine crowd, Jose Acasuso, the man with a 3-0 record for Argentina in the Davis Cup, blasted the Australian. "Hewitt seems to be thinking that he's coming to Iraq. But we're not bothered because this is the circus that he wanted to set up� Nothing's going to happen and we shouldn't pay any attention to it. We're just worried about Argentina. Whether he has one bodyguard, or 500 bodyguards, that's up to him", said Acasuso. The other Argentine players to join Acasuso in the Davis Cup semifinals are David Nalbandian, Juan Ignacio Chela and Augustin Calleri. Argentina beat last year's finalist, Croatia, in the quarterfinals and is considered favorite in reaching this year's final. The match between Argentina and Australia will get under way Friday, the 22nd of September, at Parque Roca.
