Like father, like son. Or that's what seems to be happening with Cruz Hewitt, son of former tennis star and former world number one, Lleyton Hewitt. The eldest son wants to follow in his father's footsteps, and he's on the right path. The 17-year-old has reached the Wimbledon Junior final after defeating Thijs Boogaard 6-4, 6-4 in the semifinals, in an hour and 15 minutes. Consequently, 23 years later, the Hewitt name could once again be inscribed in the London tournament, this time in the junior category.

Here is the list of Wimbledon Junior winners that Cruz Hewitt hopes to join

If he achieves this, he would join the exclusive list that includes names like: Roger Federer, Ashleigh Barty, Victoria Azarenka, Grigor Dimitrov, Alejandro Davidovich, Stefan Edberg, Martina Hingis, Ivan Lendl, Amelie Mauresmo, Gael Monfils, David Nalbandian, Manuel Orantes, Jelena Ostapenko, Mark Philippoussis, or Caroline Wozniacki, among many others. However, to make this happen, he must win the final against the winner of the match between Vincent Reisach and Jordan Lee.

The Australian has already competed in some Challenger tournaments such as in Brisbane, where he reached the quarterfinals, as well as the qualifying rounds of ATP tournaments like, once again, Brisbane. Although his most significant participation was in the Australian Open qualifiers, where he received wild card entries in both 2025 and 2026. In 2026, he lost in his debut to Michael Zheng 6-3, 6-3, while in 2025, he was defeated by Nikoloz Basilashvili with a score of 6-1, 6-4.

Now, he has a golden opportunity to make a name for himself beyond his father's surname, who topped the ATP rankings and won Wimbledon (2002) and the US Open (2001).
