Alex de Minaur Reveals His Post-Washington Match Conversation With Lleyton and Cruz Hewitt
Alex de Minaur, the number one seed at the Washington Open, shared some revealing insights into his unexpected match-up with Cruz Hewitt, son of tennis legend Lleyton Hewitt. In a press conference after their straight-sets victory, de Minaur candidly spoke about the awkwardness of facing a family member on court.
De Minaur stated, 'I saw them quickly in the gym. I just told them that we didn’t expect to be playing each other this week, right? I thought that it was definitely going to come at some stage, but I didn’t expect it to happen so early.' Lleyton Hewitt’s guidance has been pivotal throughout de Minaur's career, and his presence on court proved a significant factor.
