Young love has become a topic of discussion in the players' cafe at Wimbledon, with Lleyton Hewitt's son Cruz and Roger Federer's daughter Myla at the center of romance rumors.
The pair have been photographed together on several occasions during the finals weekend at The All England Tennis Club. Reports suggest their frequent presence together has led to onlookers teasing them about a potential relationship. Insiders describe their budding romance as the "talk of the town" among those at the tournament.
Cruz Hewitt is 17 years old, and Myla Federer is 16. The Hewitt and Federer families are known to be close, sharing a camaraderie off the court that complements their on-court rivalry.
During the championships, the Federer family was often seen supporting Cruz. Myla and her twin sister Charlene were frequently pictured cheering on Hewitt as he progressed through the junior tournament. Myla was notably absent only during the junior final, where Cruz ultimately finished as runner-up.
Cruz Hewitt's Wimbledon junior campaign concluded with a three-set loss to American Jordan Lee, who is also 16. This result marks a significant moment as Hewitt prepares to transition to the senior professional level. He currently holds a world ranking of 606 and aims to break into the top 300 by the end of the year.
A victory at Wimbledon would have provided a significant boost, but a runner-up finish is still considered a notable achievement. Hewitt expressed disappointment over missing out on a wildcard entry to his home Australian Open, a prospect he described as a "dream."
Reflecting on his experience, Hewitt mentioned the surreal feeling of hitting with tennis icon Roger Federer. He stated that reaching the Wimbledon final fulfilled a childhood dream and has led him to appreciate his accomplishments. He believes that learning from losses is crucial for development.
While the nature of Cruz Hewitt's relationship with Myla Federer remains private and they appear disinclined to seek public attention for it, Hewitt's potential to emulate his father's successful tennis career suggests he may find himself in the spotlight on court in the future.
