Federer flies past Hewitt

World number one Roger Federer silenced the Melbourne Park crowd with a straight-sets victory over local favourite Lleyton Hewitt in round four of the Australian Open.

His reward is a last-eight match-up with Russian sixth seed and ATP World Tour Finals champion Nikolay Davydenko.
