Hewitt Finding his Feet
Cruz Hewitt has been learning the game on the lower circuits as he attempts to follow in the footsteps of his father Lleyton.
The 17-year-old lost the M15 Wodonga final in March. He was last seen at the Dublin Challenger, losing 6-1 6-4 to World No.466 Quinn Vandecasteele in the second qualifier.
Hewitt had a lot of luck in the Washington qualifiers, his opponents Dusan Lajovic and Zachary Svajda both retiring. He produced a strong performance in the first round, beating Marcos Giron 6-3 6-4 after winning 63% of his 2nd serves and not allowing a break point.
The teenager spoke after securing his first main draw win: "Obviously I saw my dad play here. I came to his last tournament I remember. There are so many memories of that. To make it to round two, it's very special."
Hewitt discussed his relationship with Alex de Minaur: "Obviously if I play Alex, that would be a dream to share the court with him. He's like my older brother. I've known him basically my whole life.
"He's stayed with us. We have Christmas together, also. He's taught me so much, I think that would be a pretty cool memory for us."
