Lleyton Hewitt Gives Rare Interview To CNN | 
CNN recently conducted an interview with former world number one and 2002 Wimbledon champion Lleyton Hewitt for CNN International’s monthly tennis show Open Court.
Taking a break from the practice courts at the All England Club, Hewitt tells Open Court host Pat Cash about his ‘secret recipe’ for beating the world’s best and how a spate of injuries have actually sharpened his playing.
The programme airs at the following times.
Saturday 27 July at 1730 BST / 1830 CET
Sunday 28 July at 0830 BST / 0930 CET and 2230 BST/ 2330 CET
Key quotes
On his injuries
“In the last four or five years I’ve had five different surgeries and in some ways that makes you fresher to come back mentally. I don’t feel burnt out, whatsoever.”
On rankings
“I don’t care about my ranking whatsoever, these days though. I pick and choose the tournaments I want to play.”
On his Wimbledon-winning tactics
“I go back to basics, I grind from the back of the court and I get it done.”
