Born: 24 February 1981 Adelaide, Australia
Lleyton Glynn Hewitt (born 24 February 1981) is a
former World No. 1 tennis player from Australia. In 2001, he became the youngest
male ever to be ranked number one. His career best achievements are winning the
2001 US Open and 2002 Wimbledon men's singles titles. In 2005, TENNIS Magazine

1965. Hewitt is currently ranked 20 in the world.
Hewitt is known for his competitiveness and wins most of his matches

former coach and good friend, Roger Rasheed, on bulking up his physique. His
hard work paid off after he made it to the final of the 2005 Australian Open,
before losing to Marat Safin in 4 sets ( 1-6 6-3 6-4 6-4 ).
