Australia’s next tennis star! Lleyton Hewitt’s mini-me son hits first career milestone
There’s a new Hewitt in town – and he may be giving the previous one a run for his money.
Lleyton and Bec Hewitt’s son, Cruz, is already proving to be a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court after his latest achievement.
The son of the Aussie tennis legend has reached his very first milestone in his blossoming tennis career at the tender age of 10.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, Cruz’s doting mum, Bec Hewitt made the exciting announcement.
“Way to go Cruza!! So proud of your hard work! @cruzhewitt #firsttitle,” she wrote.
The photo shows the young tennis champ kissing his well-deserved trophy – an act that has been done by many greats before him, including his father.
Cruz also took to his own Instagram to share the news.
“So pumped to get my 1st title. Thanks everyone for the help and support,” he wrote.
Also taking part in the celebration was Cruz’s famous dad, who posted a photo of his own to his Instagram page.
“So proud of my lil’ mate,” wrote Lleyton.
The father-of-three has previously opened up about his faith in his son’s tennis abilities, saying that by the age of 14, Cruz should be ready for the Australian Open.
“Hopefully he gets a chance to play in this great event if he wants to. Hopefully he beats me,” he said.
