Hewitt secured his most impressive win of the week in the semi-finals on Friday against top Dutch junior Thijs Boogaard, who only a few weeks ago won a round at the ATP event in his home country before pushing Daniil Medvedev to a final-set tiebreak.

Cruz Hewitt has roared into the Wimbledon boys' final — nearly a quarter-of-a-century since his father Lleyton won the senior title.
Davis Cup captain Lleyton was at courtside on Friday to cajole and cheer on his 17-year-old son, who earned one of the most impressive victories of his fledgling career in the boys' tournament.
Taking on Dutch prospect, 11th seed Thijs Boogaard, who'd stretched former world No.1 Daniil Medvedev to a final-set tiebreaker at a grass-court event in Rosmalen only last month, Hewitt won 6-4 6-4 on famous Court 18 where Wimbledon's longest match between John Isner and Nicolas Mahut was played.
