Cruz Hewitt, son of legend Lleyton Hewitt, will celebrate his 17th birthday next month. In the meantime, the young Australian is trying to follow in his father's footsteps. Currently ranked 818th in the world by the ATP, he will be present at the Sydney Challenger next week.

But, more surprisingly, he will play doubles with his father. Retired from the courts since 2016, Lleyton will share the court with his son for at least one match. They will face Hayden Jones and Pavle Marinkov.
