This father-son duo is set to create a memorable partnership, and it's a story you won't want to miss.
On the hallowed grounds of the NSW Open, an ATP Challenger Tour event, Lleyton Hewitt, a tennis legend with 30 tour-level titles under his belt, will join forces with his 16-year-old son. This isn't just another match; it's a special moment on home soil, showcasing the bond between a father and son through the sport they both love.
Their first challenge? A match against fellow wild cards, 19-year-old Aussies Hayden Jones and Pavle Marinkov. The anticipation is building, but the exact match time is still under wraps.
But that's not all! Cruz isn't just playing doubles; he's also entered the singles competition, marking his third main-draw appearance in his budding career. Currently ranked No. 759 in the PIF ATP Rankings, Cruz is making his own mark in the tennis world.
