What's your favourite memory of Lleyton Hewitt?

Hewitt never had powerful groundstrokes like, let´s say, Safin, Nalbandian, Ferrero, Agassi, Federer, but had other attributes that made him the great player he was: he was fast as hell, had an amazing shot selection, he was smart on court and, his biggest asset, he was pure heart and always gave it all. World number one, US Open champion, Wimbledon champion, Master Cup champion (twice), Indian Wells champion. During his peak he was a force to be reckoned with, and a tough, tough challenge for anyone. The way he dealt and dismantled Sampras is a case of study. Yes, we are talking about a legend of the game.

I started watching tennis when he was number 1 ! What a good times!

Hewitt is a modern-day gladiator, the ultimate warrior, a living legend. His never say die attitude on court and love for the game is what made me a fan. Injuries plagued his career but for him to come back from all those surgeries and learn how to walk again just so he could compete is amazing in itself. His five-set win over Federer in 03 at the Davis cup semi-final will always be my favorite match.

I started watching tennis and playing tennis when he was number 1, at Us Open '02. Today i'm playing for almost 20years, wherever or whatever i achieved or not, Lleyton will always be special. He incuted in me the willing to win and fight for every point. We know his tennis wouldn't be enough for Federer or Nadal but he was a champion in his way! Thanks for the vid TennisTV👍🙏

He had the grit and heart to win every point which truly makes him a joy to watch. Lleyton Hewitt was a gladiator of Lawn Tennis. He was one of the first Tennis superstars I watched and got hooked on. Great times back then!

Miss Hewitt! He was a real Bad Ass and such a talented Player with Heart and Charakter!!

Fast, consistent, smart, intensely competitive and tenacious..Hewitt in a nut shell!

Whatever he lacked in skills he made up for those with his heart. What a champion.

Amazing player, so many injuries ruined him like with most of the players back then.

Probably my favorite counterpuncher of all time to watch; tough to pick between Hewitt, Agassi and Murray. Favorite style of play, I molded my game after them. Watching Hewitt face down Roger at his best was just such a treat.

One of the best foot work ever

Weak era my a**,so many great players,way better than the ones we see today except the big 3,everyone who say that 2000 to 2009 was a weak era don't understand s**t about tennis.

I’ve seen Cruz Hewitt and Lleyton Hewitt at one of my brothers tournament, Cruz is pretty good. 👍🏻

Amazing how long his knees held on

I’m tired just watching this Aussie legend 👏

It's like he's been reborn in De Minaur... They're so similar, positives and negatives... The speed and athleticism, but the lack of baseline power... Counterpunchy style, so sick to watch 🔥🔥👌 #deminaur #hewitt

Counterpunching 101! He didn't just block - he parried!

Wow, Gaston Gaudio had a great backhand.

Didnt realise till I have seen this clip, but Denis Shapovalov basically similar style forehand to Hewitts!

Prime Hewitt with Nike 😍

best australian tennis player

45 shot rally between Roger and Lleyton. WTF

WHERE IS THE MATCH HEWITT VS SODERLING ON WIMBLEDON? THATS PHENOMENAL THAT HEWITT DID THERE.

The man that made two-handed backhand beautiful

The Magician

That Indian Wells rally between Lleyton Hewitt and Roger Federer, Roger was actually smiling at the end of it.

He ran down everything and never gave up. C’mon!

Come On !!!!!!!!

2:34 2 of my tennis hero match-up in when I was young

Hewitt played against some of the best players ever and when he was at his peak, he could beat them all. Early on he played against Sampras and not sure this is true, but I hesrd this story, Sampras retired after Hewitt demolished him in a big final and Sampras said something about Hewitt in a interview that he was just too dpfast and he couldn't keep and maybe it was time to retire. But he played against so many good players back in his day and its a testament to him that he won some grandslams and he became number 1 and held it for a while too. My favourite Aussie Tennis player with Pat Rafter 2nd.

That WTA forehand tho

One of the many insanely good players from what modern tennis fans call the “softest” era.

If it wasn't for all the injuries he would have been the greatest of all time without a doubt

Hewitt contact point is so late but it works for him

What does Lleyton say at @5:47? 😸

Lleyton Hewitt walked so De Minaur and Schwartzman could run. #Goat

The second my god !

❤❤❤❤

I'm here to watch some twister server! now I disappoint as hell!!

Wow some balls remind me of Alcatraz

He dominated Roger Federer earlier in their rivalry...i don't know what happened why he peaked early...he stopped winning top competitions in his mid 20s...

Como se extraña a este tipo de jugadores en 2024

great！！れ

Not a patch on the immortals !!!! Laver hoad Rosewall Newcombe& roache!!!

❤🔥

If only he age gracefully like roger.

Think Hewitt has been right all along. Tiley is a bit of a knobby. Not handling the Djokovic saga well at all.

Next: Marcelo Ríos!

Hiii

Facing Hewitt amazon books $9.99!!

As a naive kid, I loved Lleyton Hewitt. I stopped watching Tennis somewhere in the 2000s. Now as an adult, it's cool to see him play. I remember my friends used to say "Nah, Roger Federer is the better". And while that's true, Lleyton was the cooler guy.

Next Lord Gulbis and GOAT Tomic pls

Could be Brock

I'm a fan. But the Federer retirement, well. How should I say. I don't want to be too insensitive but damn, I'd like to be sitting in the pub with lleyton to watch that display. Would we laugh, would we fall on the ground and too many beers. I don't know. He was a great player. Ok lleyton call me a cab.

Elon musk brother looks like Lleyton Hewitt

1

Today’s era is so shit

Segundo

Lleyton hewitt was in his prime like novak djokovic...nobody could beat him like tennis GOD david nalbandian. Federer destroy all the the Tennis GODs and dont forget roger destorys also players like gonzales, Bagdatis and the legendary grass court GOAT Tommy hass. If there were not federer, Hewitt would have today 25 grandslam title gonzales 20 gslams ,marcos bagdatis 15 grandslams and the legendary tommy haas would have now 9 or 10 wimbledon title.

Primero

Bad coach!! Does Australia have any descent men players left??? Nope!!!!!

Hewitt was the greatest champion of the worst era. (Federer not included)

Hewitt was biggest joke in tennis? Right?

Top 5 most overrated players of all time

Interesting, according to Wikipedia, his groundstrokes weren't powerful. So it seems he had to rely more on Accuracy, Counter-shots which is alot like Karate. As a Tennis Noob, I quite like the idea of being more accurate instead of relying more on Power. I'm not saying most Tennis players have bad accuracy, but judging by this video, he seems to be able to hit shots where he wants to even from awkward angles.
