What was it really like to face Roger Federer at the height of his powers?
Aussie legend Lleyton Hewitt joins Brad Gilbert and Prakash Amritraj at the International Tennis Hall of Fame to honor Federer and reflect on their battles throughout their careers. Hewitt breaks down the evolution of Roger’s game, his incredible mental toughness, and what made competing against him so difficult.
Hewitt also looks back on his own experience playing at the highest level alongside legends like Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras, before discussing a new chapter in his tennis life: watching his son Cruz Hewitt make the transition from junior tennis to competing at the professional level.
A rare firsthand perspective on Federer’s greatness from one of the champions who actually had to face him.
