Cruz Hewitt’s Wimbledon Breakthrough | Adelaide News

Seventeen-year-old Cruz Hewitt is rewriting junior tennis history at Wimbledon, storming into the boys’ singles quarter-finals with a straight-set win over a tough opponent — and he did it while beating his dad Lleyton’s best junior finish. Serving 10 aces and hitting 22 winners, Cruz hasn’t dropped a set all tournament. Ranked 606th in the ATP, he’s the first Aussie to reach this stage in a decade — and he’s doing it with poise, maturity, and the unwavering support of his legendary dad, who’s courtside in the invitational doubles. Cruz credits daily warm-ups with Lleyton and the roaring “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!” chants for fueling his fire. For him, this isn’t just another match — it’s a full-circle moment, playing on the same courts where he once watched his dad conquer the game. He’s ready to leave it all on the court and chase a final spot — and the legacy. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
