Australian Lleyton Hewitt notched his 600th career win with his 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 victory over Robin Haase of The Netherlands in the first round of the Sony Open in Miami, Florida.
In a testament to his tenacity, Hewitt became just the third active player to achieve the milestone, joining an elite group that includes two of the all-time greats, Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. While Hewitt may have lost a step and his groundstrokes are not quite as ferocious, the 33-year-old has lost none of his combativeness, and it was on full display for a sun-kissed centre court.
