Lleyton Hewitt will make what might be his last serious run at returning to tennis when the Australian steps onto grass next week to defend the Halle, Germany, title he won in a shock a year ago over longtime holder Roger Federer.
The 30-year-old is said to have finally made a complete recovery from foot surgery this spring which forced him to delay his return to the game by pulling out of the French Open.
Between his foot operation and two hip surgeries, fitness has been a major problem for the two-time Grand Slam champion, who won Wimbledon nine years ago. the last time Hewitt stepped onto a court, he lost in the Indian Wells first round in March.
Hewitt is now hoping for a big push over the next month through Wimbledon on the physically most forgiving of tennis surfaces. Hewitt is also set to make a debut on the English south coast at the ATP-WTA event at Eastbourne the week before Wimbledon.
