Cruz Hewitt | AOLife has copped a good whack of comments around our feature episodes for the kid... and all before he even called a coin toss for right to serve in his 1st AO match. Hope the doubters et al will be a little kinder to the kid while he goes about establishing himself...
He is just 16 yrs old after all...as his Dad would say.... "C'MON!!!!" give the kid room to be his own man (even if he's not old enough yet to have P plates, vote and lift a beer at the bar to ruminate on today's debut match.

Tues 7 Jan 2025 3.25pm....
