Lleyton Hewitt, 2 Grand Slam champions, has just announced that he will return to Wimbledon to play men's doubles. 20 years ago, the Australian player was also paired with Roger Federer, now his partner will be Jordan Thompson - 25-year-old player this year.
Lleyton Hewitt competed in the men's doubles match at Wimbledon in 2016 and stopped in the fourth round before the Vasek Pospisil duo - Jack Sock. In 1999, Lleyton Hewitt and Roger Federer, 18-year-old young men, paired and reached the third round, before losing to Jonas Bjorkman and Pat Rafter.
Currently Hewitt has gradually moved into a management career, but he is still passionate about playing. The former world No. 1 player has served as the captain of the Australian tennis team at Davis Cup. With the appearance of veteran player Lleyton Hewitt and possibly Andy Murray, the men's doubles at Wimbledon this year will be worth waiting for.
