Matt sits down with Australian legend and Davis Cup captain Lleyton Hewitt at the United Cup Draw. The former world No.1 reflects on his run to the final of Australian Open where he navigated a tough draw during a buzzing fortnight in 2005. One of his wins came in five sets over a teenage Rafael Nadal, which gave fans an early glimpse of the Spaniard's talent just months before his maiden Grand Slam title at Roland Garros. Before Hewitt celebrates the 20th anniversary of his run to the final, his attention turns to November’s Davis Cup Finals, where Australia is bidding to win the competition for the first time since 2003. With Hewitt at the helm of a team of players enjoying career-best seasons, could this be the year Australia reigns again?
