Time to make a move for Lleyton Hewitt that decided to close his career at the Australian Open. Today Lleyton played his last match against David Ferrer to lose 6-2 6-4 6-4 (but nobody really cared about the result).

Hewitt. I have always give my 100%

After the match, the atmosphere was full of emotion especially during Lleyton speech “I came out and gave everything I had like always. I left nothing in the locker room. That’s something I can always be proud of. My whole career I’ve always given 100 per cent. I love coming out here and competing. It’s never hard to come out playing in front of such great spectators every time I play out here on Rod Laver Arena. It’s like a second home for me and I’m just so fortunate to have this opportunity 20 years in a row.

It’s a weird emotion; I don’t think it will fully set in for a couple of days’ time. As I’ve always said, I’m such a competitor, I try and push myself all the time to get the most out of myself. Obviously it was in the back of my mind coming into every match this week, but I have had a fantastic last month. I feel honoured to have this support and this love from these crowds. It means so much to me. I’ve had so much success and big matches on this court; I feel fortunate to finish here.”

Hewitt has won 30 titles in his great career, he was ranked won no.1 back in 2003 and he has won the US Open (2001) and Wimbledon (2002).

It was a great run! Good luck for the rest of the jorney!

A GREAT RUN!
