Cruz Hewitt runner‑up in Wimbledon junior boys final

Australian teenager Cruz Hewitt, son of former world No. 1 Lleyton Hewitt, reached the Wimbledon junior boys final on 12 July 2026, where he was defeated by American Jordan Lee. The 17‑year‑old finished as runner‑up, becoming the first Australian to contest the junior final since Alex de Minaur in 2016 and improving his ATP ranking to 606.

Cruz, who has previously won an ITF M15 event and represented Australia in the Junior Davis Cup, comes from a high‑profile sporting family. His parents, Lleyton and Bec Hewitt, have two daughters, Mia and Ava, while Cruz has attracted media attention for his on‑court performances and occasional social‑media speculation about friendships with Roger Federer's twins.
