Lleyton Hewitt: Three dreams achieved in a champion career

At the recent Night of Champions fundraiser in Melbourne, Lleyton Hewitt revealed his three tennis dreams were Grand Slam success, reaching No.1, and Davis Cup glory. He achieved all three, reflecting on them in this special interview with Davis Cup teammate and fellow Aussie tennis icon Todd Woodbridge. Hewitt’s talent was obvious when as a 16-year-old, he upset Andre Agassi en route to his first career ATP title in Adelaide, vision we unearthed from the archive. And it wasn’t long before Hewitt peaked on the Grand Slam stage, first in doubles at the 2000 US Open – beating top seeds Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde along the way to his first doubles major – and a year later in singles, when he toppled the mighty Pete Sampras for his first singles Slam in New York. What followed were more glittering achievements, such as the 2002 Wimbledon singles title, a leading role in Australia’s Davis Cup triumph of 2003 – a team he now leads passionately as captain – and a run to the Australian Open 2005 final, making him the last Aussie man to progress that far in Melbourne. Hewitt’s incredible recall and storytelling add texture and context to these achievements, as he takes fans behind the curtain for his greatest career moments and discusses the influential figures who helped him along the way.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Love is officially in the air at the Australian Open and shockingly it is not just Lizzy’s (@lizzyhoo) Raya account. Speaking of Lizzy, we drop a massive announcement about her future with the show. Brace yourselves, hearts will be broken. Despite being a little under the weather, Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) soldiers on and delivers the kind of totally hard hitting, deeply serious, stats-heavy analysis you have come to expect from him. Prepare to be blown away. Lizzy once again refers to it as a “tennis game” and finally addresses the growing speculation around her crumping ability. Bad day to be a hater. And because we like to keep things spicy around here and we do love a bad boy, today’s guest was an absolute no brainer, Thanasi Kokkinakis. We dive into his antics on and off the court and let’s just say, we have questions. Listen to The AO Wrap to stay up to date with the latest results each day of the main draw.
