Cruz Hewitt targeting Australian Open after falling short in Wimbledon boys' final

Nearly a ‌quarter of a century after his ‌father won the Wimbledon title in 2002, Cruz lost 4-6, 6-4, ‌7-5 to Lee at the ⁠All ‌England Club.

The 17-year-old was looking to become ​the first Australian boys' champion at Wimbledon since Luke ​Saville in 2011.

“I feel like I played some really good tennis ⁠and ​it was just a great battle today. Jordan played better and deserved to win," Hewitt said after ‌his defeat.

"I am feeling very disappointed but I am proud of my effort to make the final. Obviously I grew up around this tournament and I have seen my dad play here. It's been a privilege to ‌play here.

"That is the dream (playing ​in the Australian Open main ‌draw). That is a big goal of mine to have that... I look forward to coming back here (Wimbledon) in the ⁠future for ⁠the men’s.”
