The risk of ectopic pregnancy is greater later on."

...process. For Hewitt to win the tournament, he probably needs someone else to get rid of Federer for him. As time passes, 2005 is looking like a fateful missed opportunity for the top-ranked Australian. Riding into the Melbourne final on a wave of momentum and national fervor, Hewitt succumbed to Safin even though the Russian was floundering for the first set and a half and ready to be put to sleep.
