Lleyton Hewitt stands on stage during the International Tennis Hall of Fame 2022 Induction Ceremony.
The enshrinement ceremony was held on Newport’s grass side courts after the semifinals of the Hall of Fame Open. Eight Hall of Famers, including Andy Roddick and Tracy Austin attended the event. "I feel fortunate that I was able to play across different generations, that I was able to be on the same court as my heroes that I looked up to like Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras and then go on and compete against three of the greatest tennis players our sport has ever seen in Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic," he said.A two-time grand slam champion, Hewitt finished 2001 and 2002 as the No.1 player in the world and spent 80 weeks top-ranked.
“For me that was a really proud moment, to be standing beside all those great Australians that I always idolised and looked up to.”
