I'm fortunate: I can play as long as I want to play. There's no coach or trainer who is going to say to me that I'm dropped or sacked, it's time to move on. I can play as long as I want to play. Lleyton Hewitt coachdropfortunate Change image and share on social
I liked Pat Cash, and I loved Mats Wilander. I went to the Australian Open with my parents, and I used to watch Wilander being cheered on by the Swedish fans, and with his game style being like mine, I drew comparisons with him. Lleyton Hewitt australiancashcheer share on social

You always love playing in finals at any tournament. The grand slams and stuff like that are obviously the priorities but any titles go on your record. Lleyton Hewitt finalgrandlove Change image and share on social
Oh, I get pretty fired up on the court. I try to play with a lot of emotion, especially when I'm playing in front of a large crowd. I want to go out and do my best, and to do that, I have to play with the most energy possible. Lleyton Hewitt courtcrowdemotion share on social
I am two different people. What you see on the court is just natural for me. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have always said 'C'mon' purely to fire myself up. Off the court, I am a lot shyer. I stick to my team and my family and people I trust. Lleyton Hewitt courtfamilyfire share on social
I have sometimes played my best Davis Cup matches away from home when you stay in the moment a bit more. But it is tough when half the crowd are spitting on you. Lleyton Hewitt bitecrowdcup Change image and share on social
I was lucky enough to win the Davis Cup in my first year in 1999. I won my first slam at the U.S. Open in 2001 and became world No. 1 later that year. By the age of 20, I'd done it all. Lleyton Hewitt agecupdavis Change image and share on social
I've probably put up with more criticism than a lot of people out there. At the end of the day, you block out everything, especially with your personal life. Lleyton Hewitt blockcriticismday Change image and share on social
I'm not to eager to play tennis in my spare time. I'm more interested in doing gym work and stuff like that. We have a lot of schools and courts around where I live, so if I really want to play, I don't need to go too far. Lleyton Hewitt courteagergym share on social
