Lleyton Hewitt Moves On in Australian Open 2012 as Andy Roddick Retires

Lleyton Hewitt has moved into the third round of the Australian Open 2012 at the expense of Andy Roddick. Roddick had to retire injured with Hewitt leading two sets to one at the time.

Hewitt was leading 3-6 6-3 6-4.

“In the last four years I’ve had five surgeries, and last year I played just two grand slams and two Davis Cup ties,” Hewitt said.

“I came in here with nothing to lose, I’ll play with my heart on my sleeve and see where it gets me.”

Hewitt will now play Canadian Milos Raonic in the third round.
