Player details
Name Lleyton Hewitt
DOB 24/02/81
Nationality AUS
Pre-Tournament Odds 100/1
Became Pro 1998
Seeding 20
World Ranking 27
A two-time Grand Slam champion, including a Wimbledon title in 2002, the gritty Australian baseliner will be determined to keep up a respectable record here, which has seen him reach the last 16 in each of the last four years. Won three matches in straight sets at Queen's Club earlier in the month before losing comfortably to Novak Djokovic. He remains a formidable grasscourt player, but his lower ranking could lead to his earliest exit since he lost in the first round as defending champion.
