Son of a gun Hewitt takes top-100 scalp in ATP first

Teenage Australian tennis player Cruz Hewitt made history by winning his first ATP Tour match at the DC Open, propelling him up 255 spots to world ranking number 357. The 17-year-old, who qualified via walkovers, defeated former world number 37 Marcus Giron in straight sets, becoming the fourth man born in 2008 or later to achieve this feat. Hewitt, who trained with his father Lleyton Hewitt, expressed satisfaction with his performance and acknowledged the pressure of living up to his famous surname. He will next face the winner of a match between countryman Alex de Minaur and Stefanos Tsitsipas in the round of 16.
