16-year-old Cruz Hewitt is gearing up for his maiden main draw at the French Open juniors with the priceless support of Australian legend Tony Roche.

Roche, winner of the 1966 French Open singles and 15 major doubles titles, was hitting balls with Hewitt at the Vince Barclay Tennis Academy in New South Wales.

Currently ranked No.41 in the junior world rankings, Hewitt will participate in his third junior Slam main draw after back-to-back appearances at the 2024 and 2025 Australian Open.

He won his first main draw match at a junior Slam earlier this year at Melbourne Park.
