In an unexpected twist, 17-year-old Cruz Hewitt, the son of former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, played against Alex de Minaur, the defending champion and fellow Australian, at a tennis event. This meeting marked a significant moment for the young athlete.
After the match, Australians Alex de Minaur and Cruz Hewitt exchanged sportsmanship at the net. “He’s always been a great kid,” commented de Minaur, acknowledging Hewitt’s potential and character.
De Minaur confessed that he didn’t anticipate this encounter happening so soon. He had presumed he would have more time to adjust to the idea before facing Hewitt across the net on Thursday afternoon.
