Cruz Hewitt Shines in Wimbledon Juniors Debut

News summary

Cruz Hewitt, 16-year-old son of former Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt, won his Wimbledon juniors debut by defeating Russia's Savva Rybkin 6-1, 6-2 in the boys’ singles first round, with his father supporting him courtside. The win comes 23 years after Lleyton's own Wimbledon singles title. Cruz advances to face Finnish 11th seed Oskari Paldanius and will also compete in the doubles event. He has stated that he focuses on the positives, despite the pressures of his famous surname, and is motivated to surpass his father’s achievements. Earlier in 2024, Cruz made his senior Grand Slam debut at the Australian Open, losing in qualifying before reaching the second round of the junior draw. Lleyton Hewitt, still the last Australian man to win a Grand Slam singles title, continues to guide and express pride in his son's progress.
