Lleyton Hewitt crashes out of Australian Open

Melbourne, Jan 21 (IBNS): Ending an era in the world of Tennis singles clash, Lleyton Hewitt bid adieu to his career after being defeated by Spain's David Ferrer in the second round of the Australian Open here on Thursday.

Ferrer ended Hewitt's further move in the tournament by beating him  6-2 6-4 6-4.

After the defeat, some of the biggest names of Tennis history like Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray provided heart-felt video messages that were beamed into the area.

Nadal called Hewitt as an inspiration.

“Out on the court, obviously you got so many things going through your head,” Hewitt was quoted as saying by the official website of the Australian Open.

"“You're trying to soak it up as much as possible out there one last time. It was an unbelievable atmosphere out there. A couple of the roars during the match tonight was as loud as I've ever played in front of. I was getting goosebumps at times," he said.
