Around the match

  • “I think that there's got to be a lot of respect shown to him because it is definitely not easy being an ex-No.1 in the world's son. He's done an incredible job of maturing and really getting a good head on his shoulders and coming into his own, becoming his own player.”

    De Minaur A.Fox Sports ↗

  • “He's earned his way to where he is right now. He's been playing some incredible tennis and 'big boy' tennis. I'm going to have to be ready and hopefully make his life as difficult as I can make it.”

    Hewitt C.Fox Sports ↗

  • “De Minaur is like my older brother”

    Hewitt C.ATP Tour ↗

  • “Someone like Jannik [Sinner] can take prolonged periods of rest because every tournament he plays he is winning it. It's a little bit harder to take rest if you go out early.”
