Lleyton Hewitt by annied

Lleyton Hewitt

is an Australian former World No. 1 professional tennis player.

Went to the Fast4 tennis with my daughters
Had a great night watching the boys play.

Hewitt is the youngest male ever to be ranked No. 1 in the world in singles, at the age of 20. His most notable career achievements include winning the 2001 US Open and 2002 Wimbledon men's singles titles, the 2000 US Open men's doubles title, winning back-to-back Tennis Masters Cup (now called the ATP World Tour Finals) titles in 2001 and 2002, and winning the Davis Cup with Australia in 1999 and 2003. Hewitt made it to the finals of the 2004 US Open, where he was defeated by Roger Federer in straight sets. Between 1997 and 2016, he contested twenty consecutive Australian Open men's singles tournaments, including making it to the 2005 final where he was defeated by Marat Safin in four sets.
He was a real champion, I think injuries held him back a bit. If only the up and coming players had his on court temperament.

This is a neat shot. Lots of "star quality" here!

That is a very atmospheric picture - has everything, the spotlights, the excited people, the camera crews and the celebrity picture at just the right spot. This shot speaks volumes.
