With no confidence in the chair, Clavet disputed a backhand to the sideline that was called out in his next service game (I was on this side, opposite to the chair, and this one did appear to be wide).
Clavet continued to have discussions with the Chagas during the changeover.
Clavet, clearly wanting to appeal the alleged bad calls, remained seated until the chair gave him a 15 second time warning to get back on the court.
Clavet hit a very deep backhand in the corner that Hewitt could not get back to set up the break and in a particularly long rally a wide forehand from the Australian gave Clavet the opportunity to serve out the first set.
Clavet would take the lead in the second set in the seventh game when Hewitt double faulted (his only one of the match) at break point.
Clavet took the second set 6-4 in 51 minutes and scored his second upset win of the tournament after taking out the #2 seed, Andre Agassi, in the first round.
