Explore the latest developments concerning Cruz and Lleyton.
Lleyton Hewitt has been a constant presence in son Cruz's corner as he forges a professional tennis career of his own. But this week they're over 6000km apart due to different commitments.
And it goes a long way to showing why Lleyton and wife Bec have decided to sell their $14 million family home in Sydney. Lleyton has been mentoring and coaching Cruz, and is constantly seen court-side during the 17-year-old's matches.

But this week Lleyton is in Brisbane preparing for Australia's Davis Cup tie against Poland while Cruz is in Vietnam playing at an ATP Challenger event. Cruz advanced to the quarter-finals of the Phan Thiet 4 Challenger tournament after beating Digvijay Pratap Singh and Constantin Bittoun Kouzmine in his first two matches. His tournament ended on Friday with a 3-6 1-6 loss to Ilia Simakin.

Gorzny, who holds a lowly career-high ranking of world No.782, needed just 27 minutes to dismiss his 17-year-old rival in the first set.
But the 22-year-old could not replicate his dominance in the second as Hewitt showed the grit his father Lleyton was famous for to force a tiebreak, which he won 7-4.

At 17, Cruz Hewitt is already learning what it takes to compete at the highest levels of professional tennis. But as the Australian rising star prepares for another opportunity on the ATP Tour, he isn’t talking about expectations or comparisons. He is talking about getting stronger, trusting his game and, perhaps most importantly, enjoying it.
Hewitt enters the Winston-Salem Open on a wild card after a breakout stretch that has put him increasingly in the conversation among tennis’s young players to watch. For Hewitt, the progress has been as much mental as physical.
“…It’s been a great few months, I feel like my tennis game is going a lot better and mentally as well, I feel like I’m maturing with the top plays and the kind of top 100 level, I feel, and I’m, I don’t know, just growing on and off the court, I feel like my fitness, everything’s getting better in my game as well,” Hewitt said, “but I’m excited to get another opportunity to play in a tour event, I feel that’s where I can play my best tennis.”

Rafter opened up about the rising career of youngster Cruz Hewitt, who recently lost in an all-Australian match up against world No.6 Alex De Minaur and why he thinks the 17-year-old will be at the Australian Open.
“I’m really happy. I didn’t think Cruz was going to win his first one, so I was very excited for him. I don’t know him that well,” Rafter told nine.com.au.

Alex de Minaur has knocked rising teenage Aussie star Cruz Hewitt out of the Washington Open in the second round.
The 27-year-old went up against the 17-year-old son of tennis legend Lleyton on Friday morning and was victorious 6-2, 6-3 to reach the third round.

The pair have been close for Hewitt’s entire life given Lleyton has worked closely with de Minaur and mentored him throughout his career.
“We’re going to play (each other) for the next 10 years of our lives,” de Minaur said to Hewitt after their match.
Cruz Hewitt was gasping for air with a towel over his head 15 minutes into his first official clash with Alex de Minaur in Washington on Friday.
The scoreboard was sobering for the 17-year-old rising star: 5-0 to de Minaur, his friend and regular guest at the dinner table for Christmas. Hewitt had won only six points, while nervously spraying almost double as many errors.
None of this was surprising, given the decade difference in age and even wider gap in their resumes.
De Minaur has routinely dispatched fellow Australians, and was never going to take it easy on the teenager, no matter how friendly they are off the court.
