Federer and Hewitt’s Children Shine at Australian Open

At the Australian Open in Melbourne, two tennis legends watched as a new generation took the spotlight. Lleyton Hewitt and Roger Federer, both 44, were not the stars on this occasion; instead, their children stole the show.

Federer and Hewitt’s Children Shine at Australian Open

Cruz Hewitt, aged 17, joined Federer’s identical twin daughters, Myla and Charlene, who are 16. The trio watched Jannik Sinner’s match against Hugo Gaston. The children of these tennis icons have formed a friendship since childhood.

A Legacy of Tennis Success

Roger Federer, a holder of 20 Grand Slam titles, was once ranked world number one. Lleyton Hewitt achieved his own prominence by winning titles at the US Open in 2001 and Wimbledon in 2002. However, Cruz has not yet reached this level of success, having been eliminated in the first qualifying round in Melbourne.

• Roger Federer: 20 Grand Slam titles
• Lleyton Hewitt: Titles at US Open (2001), Wimbledon (2002)
• Cruz Hewitt: Made first-round appearance in Melbourne

The Federer Twins and Their Training

Myla and Charlene are ardent tennis players, and they are not alone. The Federer family includes two other siblings, Leo and Lenny, aged 11. Reports suggest the boys show more talent in tennis than their sisters.

Last year, Myla and Charlene trained at the Rafael Nadal Academy in Mallorca. Little is known about their training regimen, as their parents, Roger and Mirka, prioritize their privacy. The twins are reportedly homeschooled by a former tennis player turned educator.

Friendships and Public Appearances

The three youngsters not only enjoyed the Sinner match but also attended the opening ceremony. Here, Federer was honored for his six titles at the Australian Open, an event that included Lleyton Hewitt’s appearance as well. No doubt, these moments provided great joy for both families.

Meanwhile, social media has buzzed with snapshots of Cruz and his connection to Federer’s daughters. Australian tennis player Thanasi Kokkinakis remarked playfully on social media, referring to Cruz with a light-hearted comment.

Life as the Children of Tennis Legends

The Federer twins live a life of luxury while maintaining privacy. Although Federer wished for them to experience a sheltered upbringing, public sightings are rare. Their appearances, like the one in Melbourne, are special events.

Occasionally, they attend concerts, such as Coldplay, but most of their activities remain private. Federer has firmly pushed back against invasive fan interactions, ensuring that his daughters maintain some distance from the public eye.

The Future of Tennis

As the children of these remarkable athletes grow, the potential for them to follow in their fathers’ footsteps increases. It would be exciting to see the names Federer and Hewitt gracing the court once again—this time, not just as spectators.
