I believe Hewitt can win this. If you actually look at Hewitt's results in the past 3 years for best of 5 set matches, his winning percentage looks like this:
2011: 45%
2012: 53%
2013: 61%
Comparing both players overall for best of 5 has Hewitt at 72% & Youzhny at 59%. Now the thing that sticks out the most with me is how long this match will go for. If these guys matches is anything to go by I think more than 3 hours is going to be the answer. This is where I differentiate these players:
Hewitt is used to playing matches that go for over 3 hours. He loves it. He's won 41 matches that have gone for over 3 hours compared to Youzhny's 26.
Let's look at 5 distinct stats: Ace %, 1st serves in, 1st serve points won, 2nd serve points won & return points won. In matches that go for over 3 hours, all bar 1 of Hewitt's stats INCREASE. Now to Youzhny, for matches over 3 hours all of 5 these stats DECREASE. To me this is the most important thing. Hewitt likes grinding out a win, Youzhny doesn't.
