Cruz Hewitt, son of tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt, made an impressive debut at Wimbledon 2025, winning his first match in the boys' singles in straight sets against Russian Savva Rybkin, with a score of 6-1, 6-2. The 16-year-old, already a top-50 junior and beginning to establish himself on the men's tour, dedicated his victory to a close family friend from the Bahamas who recently passed away. His father, Lleyton Hewitt, a former Wimbledon champion who won the title in 2002, was courtside and expressed pride in his son's achievement. Cruz’s win follows a recent upset of junior world No.5 Jagger Leach and sets up a next-round match against Finnish 11th seed Oskari Paldanius. Cruz’s performance was notable for his powerful forehand, reminiscent of Nick Kyrgios, and his celebration was emotional, especially with a tribute to his late friend. Meanwhile, Lleyton Hewitt, now Davis Cup captain, watched his son with pride, highlighting the significance of the moment and the ongoing tennis legacy. Cruz’s success at Wimbledon continues the Hewitt family's strong tennis tradition, with Lleyton having won the men's singles title and reaching grand slam finals. The tournament also featured other Australian players, including top-ranked junior girl Emerson Jones and Tahlia Kokkinis, progressing to the second round. The event was marked by emotional moments, including Hewitt’s heartfelt celebration and his reflections on following in his father's footsteps. The article also covers the family’s personal life, including Mia Hewitt’s rock’n’roll lifestyle, her relationship with her boyfriend Vanda Erich, and her role in the TV show Home and Away, as well as her protective father Lleyton Hewitt’s concerns about her partying and smoking habits.
