Wimbledon hospitality tickets news: Lleyton Hewitt set for Dewarman clash in Houston

07/04/2010

Wimbledon hospitality ticketholders may get to see Lleyton Hewitt in action now that the Australian has made a successful return to the courts.

The former world number one's summer preparations were thrown into disarray after he suffered an injury to his right hip during practice for the Hopman Cup in Perth at the end of last year.

But the resilient 29-year-old is now competing in Houston's US Clay Court Championships after recovering from the knock.

He faces a second-round clash with Indian Somdev Dewarman after receiving a first-round bye.

A strong showing in the US event could set Hewitt up for a successful 2010 season, including appearances at the French Open and in front of fans with Wimbledon hospitality tickets.

Dewarman himself is lucky to be in the tournament having lost in his opening match, only to be readmitted following the withdrawal of Mardy Fish.

The likes of John Isner, Sam Querry and Fernando Gonzalez, the top seed, are also competing in the championships.
