Cruz Hewitt has made a grand debut in his first ATP main draw at Washington 2026, with an impressive victory over Marcos Giron by a score of 6-3 6-4 after 1 hour and 12 minutes of play. This way, the young Australian tennis player, 17 years old, emerges as one of the key names to watch for the future.

It's worth noting that just a few days ago, Hewitt was competing in the junior Wimbledon final, but the Washington tournament granted him a wildcard for the qualifying rounds, and he is making the most of this opportunity. While he had some luck in the qualifiers due to Zachary Svajda and Dusan Lajovic's withdrawals that led him to his first main draw, today he delivered an impressive performance against the world number 85.

Hewitt doesn't give Giron a single breakpoint

The son of the legendary Lleyton Hewitt's serve was crucial, as he didn't give Giron any chance on his return, and from the baseline, he played with the audacity of a player who had nothing to lose. He was close to a 6-2 set against the American but eventually closed it with his serve. In the second set, another service break was enough for him to stay solid on serve and secure his spot in the round of 16.

In the next round, he will face the winner between Alex de Miñaur and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Regardless of the outcome, this tournament could mark a turning point in his game and especially in his mentality. Sometimes, all a young player needs is to play in a tournament like this to realize that he is ready to make the leap. Therefore, it will be important to keep a close eye on him to see how he evolves in this second part of the season. For now, with this victory, he has already gone from being beyond the top 600 to breaking into the top 400.
