Lleyton Hewitt says despite not playing an ATP warm-up tournament before the Australian Open for the first time that he’s well prepared for a strong run. The former did play the Hopman Cup exhibition last week and will play an exhibition at Kooyong this week.
"I feel like I've done the hard yards," said 2005 Australian Open finalist. "There's no stone that's unturned for me, and I can go out there and know that I've had the best preparation possible for myself and my body. Obviously I won't be seeded next week, so [it's] a little bit in the hands of the gods where you get put in the draw, but I feel capable that I can go out there and cause some upsets."
