Best of luck to Cruz Hewitt. I'm sure Lleyton is giving him lots of handy tips, and along with his natural talent he definitely has the chance to become a top tier player! I recall when Lleyton won the US Open and being so excited for him! When I first heard the teagic news re 9/11, my first thought was for Lleyton's welfare - I was very worried! As far as I know, Lleyton has never spoken publicly about that time and how it affected him. He is very humble and introspective so it's not surprising. He was a quiet achiever who let his tennis do the talking!
