What's your favourite memory of Lleyton Hewitt?

[saidmiranda]

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.

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!

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👍🙏

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

[donpatrese]

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

[piyushprateek]

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

[masters.]

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

[MeTakingAStand]

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.

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. 👍🏻

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.

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 🔥🔥👌

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.

Wow, Gaston Gaudio had a great backhand.

[Ttjam]

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

[markthetranslator]

The man that made two-handed backhand beautiful

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