'Surreal, very special' - 17-year-old Cruz Hewitt, son of legend Leyton, after earning first ATP win

Yeah, it's pretty surreal to win here. Obviously, I've seen my dad play here. He came to his last tournament, I remember. There's so many memories of that. But, no, to get over the line and be into round two, it's very special. Yeah, obviously, it's not how you want it to get through qualies, but I was grateful to be in this position to have a chance in the main draw to get my first win. I think I handled the way I played well, the conditions well, and then I brought my best tennis, I felt. No, I remember a few things. I remember being in the locker room with my dad. I remember making his protein shake, all that, in the locker room and just being around him on the practice court. I remember I did an interview with him as well and now sitting here doing my own interview. It's surreal. Yeah, no, he always liked playing here. He has good memories here as well. But, no, before I went out today, his main advice was just to enjoy it, enjoy the opportunity I had. Then, obviously, when I enjoy it, I think I bring my best game when I'm having fun as well. Obviously, if I play Alex, that would be a dream to share the court with him. I've known him, he's like my older brother. I've known him basically nearly my whole life. He stayed with us. We have Christmas together also. Then, to play him, share the court with him, he's taught me so much. I think that'd be a pretty cool memory for us.
