Hewitt avoids early exit - round-up

Lleyton Hewitt blew a huge sigh of relief after avoiding a repeat of last year’s humiliating first round exit from Wimbledon with an emphatic victory against Jurgen Melzer.

The Australian romped to glory at the All England Club in 2002 but his title defence the following year misfired spectacularly as he fell victim to Croatian Ivo Karlovic in the opening round.
