Lleyton Hewitt - The Matches

Lleyton Hewitt is a man who has played in so many memorable matches, that it's tough to remember them all! With 826 singles matches and 177 doubles matches played to date, the Adelaide born battler has hit the heights and had some lows in a career that will no doubt land him a place in the hall of fame when he hangs up the racket.
