Hotshot Hewitt hunts big guns
The Australian is one of just two former champions in the men’s singles this year – Roger Federer being the other – and booked himself a place in the last 32 by defeating the man who took Rafael Nadal’s place at the top of the draw.
Hewitt, 28, prevailed 6-3 7-5 7-5 against a player eight years his junior, and claims he can continue to challenge the game’s current top men on grass.
