Aussies Update: Hopman Cup … already?

The Hopman Cup organisers have confirmed that Lleyton Hewitt and Samantha Stosur will be representing Australia at the tournament in 2010. Given Sam’s doubles record and both players’ recent forms, this looks to be a fantastic team. 

 

Tournament director Paul McNamee said securing Hewitt and Stosur for Hopman Cup XXII was a coup, especially given their strong form at Wimbledon earlier this month. “Maybe it’s a case of winning every 11 years,” McNamee said yesterday. “It’s a really strong team. Together they are going to be formidable and they are looking forward to it. “Lleyton is really coming back to great form and I think Sam brings a lot to the tournament.

Australia has only won the Hopman Cup once in 1999 with Mark the Poo and Jelena Dokic. 

 

Can’t believe people are thinking about the Hopman Cup already. Time flies …
