Lleyton Hewitt
Lleyton Glynn Hewitt is a professional tennis player, and a former World No. 1 ranked player, from Australia. Hewitt is known for his competitiveness and has won most of his matches with fitness, consistency and skilled footwork. Hewitt spent much time in the late stages of 2004 working with his former coach and good friend, Roger Rasheed, on bulking up his physique. Hewitt might well have followed in the footsteps of his Australian rules football-playing father Glynn. Hewitt entered the Monte Carlo Masters as a wild card. He lost in the first round 6-4, 7-5 to Marat Safin who lives in Monte Carlo in 2009. Lleyton’s next tournament was the 2009 AEGON Championships in London. He was the 15th seed and drew Eduardo Schwank in the first round, who he easily dispatched 6-1 6-0.
Hewitt was a part of the Australian Davis Cup Team that won the Davis Cup in 1999 and 2003 and reached the final in 2000 and 2001. By the age of 22, he had recorded more wins in Davis Cup singles than any other Australian player.
