Cruz Hewitt has just taken a huge step in his career by defeating Marcos Giron in the first round of Washington in his debut in an ATP tournament's main draw. Beyond the confidence this victory will give him, the major impact will be on his ranking, as he will rise more than 200 positions at once to take a giant leap at just 17 years old. 

Before this tournament, Lleyton Hewitt's son was world No. 612. In fact, just a few weeks ago, he was competing in the junior Wimbledon final, so he could not have imagined such a situation even in the best-case scenario. However, his victory against Giron will place him next Monday at No. 365 in the ATP rankings. The young Australian tennis player has climbed 247 positions at a stroke, and his life has changed with just one match.

Hewitt, one win away from the top 300

In the Washington round of 16, Hewitt will face the winner of the match between Alex De Miñaur and Stefanos Tsitsipas, so he will not be the favorite by any means. However, if he manages to win, he would break into the top 300, resulting in a rise of more than 300 spots in just a few days. Today's match marks Cruz's first victory against a top 100 player in his career, a win that will boost his confidence for the rest of the season and make him believe he is capable of going far in his career.

Furthermore, playing against Tsitsipas or De Miñaur will be a valuable experience for him, as these matches will make him a better player and help him stay grounded, realizing that he must continue working if he wants to meet the high expectations placed on him.
