A former World No. 1 who amassed 30 tour-level titles in a storied career, Hewitt is now set for a new kind of memorable moment in this father-son outing on home soil. They will open against fellow wild cards, 19-year-old Aussies Hayden Jones and Pavle Marinkov. The match time is yet to be announced.
Cruz will also compete in the Sydney singles field, marking his third Challenger main-draw appearance in his young career. The teenager is No. 759 in the PIF ATP Rankings.
