He was outclassed by Gorzny in the first set, going down 6-1 in just 27 minutes.<\/p>\n
But Hewitt battled hard to take the second set in a tie-break on the back of lengthy rallies and a strong service game. <\/p>\n
And with the support of his legendary father, who was cheering him on from the stands, Hewitt eventually managed to secure a three set victory and a spot in the round of 32.<\/p>\n
Fans impressed by the showing of determination heaped praise on the youngster and his spirit he showed to battle back to a win.<\/p>\n
\u201cCruz Hewitt\u2019s dream summer continues!\u201d said journalist Jose Morgado.<\/p>\n
\u201cNever die attitude, just like his father.. vamos Hewitt,\u201d wrote X user Binod.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis match was a picture preview of Cruz Hewitt fighting spirit. And I hope to see many, many more of these matches,\u201d added @FranzyBl.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a fight from Hewitt. At 17. Two tour-level wins already. The lad is definitely one to watch,\u201d said @TennisForFun.<\/p>\n
The official ATP X account wrote: \u201cWHAT a comeback?!\u201d<\/p>\n
Hewitt\u2019s next match is against British star Arthur Fery, who is in the midst of an incredible year, most recently making the Wimbledon semis. <\/p>\n
Last month Hewitt broke through for his maiden men\u2019s victory, upsetting Marcos Giron in straight sets at the Mubadala Open in Washington. <\/p>\n
He will need a similarly epic performance if he is to get past No.4 seed Fery in the round of 32. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cruz Hewitt has again left the tennis world stunned, this time rallying from a set down to beat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[21438,21442,16082,21455,16517,21431,21451,16046,3687,21452,14842,19871,21464,21458,21461,21447,21467,15684,21441,21436,21462,16428,21466,21443,21425,12468,21423,21424,21433,21456,15750,21427,16009,21429,21437,21449,21421,20145,21422,15990,15970,17018,21446,21465,16349,21448,2268,21453,15975,11600,8519,21459,549,28,1554,15741,21460,16015,18465,15748,21457,21435,21432,21468,15704,21444,16666,21439,21430,14895,21434,21450,21428,16892,21307,21440,21426,21454,21445,209,21463,15978],"class_list":["post-56837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-news","tag-ever-men","tag-s-dream-summer","tag-s-next-match","tag-s-tour-level-victory","tag-s-victory","tag-franzybl-the-son","tag-tennisforfun-the-official-atp-x-account","tag-16046","tag-3687","tag-32-fans","tag-6-1","tag-a-fight","tag-a-first-set-loss","tag-a-gun","tag-a-performance","tag-a-picture-preview","tag-a-similarly-epic-performance","tag-a-spot","tag-a-strong-service-game","tag-a-three-set-victory","tag-a-tie-break","tag-a-win","tag-an-incredible-year","tag-attitude","tag-british-star-arthur-fery","tag-cruz-hewitt","tag-determination","tag-epic-comeback-win","tag-feat","tag-gorzny","tag-hewitt","tag-his-famous-father-former-world-no-1-lleyton-hewitt","tag-his-father","tag-his-legendary-father","tag-his-maiden-men","tag-his-spirit","tag-journalist-jose-morgado","tag-just-1-he","tag-just-27-minutes-but","tag-kayo","tag-kayo-sports-new","tag-last-month","tag-lengthy-rallies","tag-lleyton-esque","tag-many","tag-many-more","tag-marcos-giron","tag-no-4-seed-fery","tag-overseas-live","tag-praise","tag-sebastian-gorzny","tag-spirit","tag-straight-sets","tag-tennis","tag-tennis-world","tag-the-17-year-old","tag-the-back","tag-the-best","tag-the-biggest-aussie","tag-the-first-set","tag-the-lad","tag-the-midst","tag-the-mubadala-open","tag-the-round","tag-the-second-set","tag-the-showing","tag-the-stands","tag-the-support","tag-the-talk","tag-the-tennis-world","tag-the-trademarks","tag-the-wimbledon-semis","tag-the-winston-salem-open","tag-the-youngster","tag-this-match","tag-this-time","tag-tuesday-watch","tag-two-tour-level","tag-vamos-hewitt","tag-washington","tag-x-user-binod","tag-your-first-month"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/tennis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
