Lleyton Hewitt crashes out of Australian Open
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.
