In the world of tennis, lineage plays a significant role in shaping the future stars of the sport. Cruz Hewitt, the son of Australian legend Lleyton Hewitt, is a prime example of this. The young Aussie has been no stranger to the tennis scene, accompanying his father to various tournaments and events over the years.
However, it was a recent Instagram post that truly caught the attention of fans and players alike. The 15-year-old Cruz showcased an impressive growth spurt that took many by surprise, especially one Carlos Alcaraz, who found himself on the wrong end of the height comparison.
Commenting on Cruz’s transformation, Alcaraz humorously remarked, “Just 3-5 years between both photos and you are now taller than me. That’s tough.” It’s clear that Cruz’s physical development has not gone unnoticed by his peers on the tour.
Despite his young age, Cruz is already making waves in the junior tennis circuit, with many predicting a bright future ahead for the talented player. With his father’s guidance and support, there’s no telling how far Cruz can go in the sport.
As Cruz continues to grow both on and off the court, he is sure to attract even more attention from fans and fellow players. With his impressive genes and dedication to the game, it’s only a matter of time before Cruz Hewitt makes a name for himself in the world of tennis.
