Hewitt, With Wrist Injury, Will Play Vienna

Despite complaining of wrist problems over the last several weeks which led to his ouster in Shanghai, there’s no stopping Lleyton Hewitt as the Australian carries on with his end-of-season plans by playing next week in Vienna.

The 32-year-old was beaten in the first round of the Masters 1000 in China by Andreas Seppi after defeating German Tommy Haas a week earlier in Beijing. Hewitt is lined up to play indoors in Vienna for the first time.

The No. 54 had complained of wrist pain but has decided to take a wait-and-see attitude. His management told Melbourne’s Age that the former No. 1 would keep on with his schedule and if the problem persists have it checked when he travels later to Australia.

The never-say-die Aussie is the picture of persistence, having saved his career after a series of foot and toe operations in recent seasons which could have spelled the end. He is on track for a possible finish in the top 60, his first since 2010.
