Hewitt retires from the Kooyong Classic

Lleyton Hewitt started a wonderful season by winning the first tournament of the year beating Roger Federer in the final.(This was Lleyton’s 29th career title).

Lleyton was meant to play the Kooyong Classic to pull out at the very end citing fatigue.

“Obviously this week is all about preparation for the Australian Open and getting yourself in as possible,” said Hewitt
