Former world number one Lleyton Hewitt doesn’t have any plans to retire from the sport any time soon and in fact he announced that he will be playing a full schedule at the 2014 season.
“I don’t know when I’ll be stopping, but I’ll be playing out the whole year regardless. I want to have another crack at Wimbledon for sure and I feel if I can get more matches under my belt going into Wimbledon that will hold me in a better stead,” Hewitt said in an interview with Fox Sports.
“Even now, I feel like I can go up that little more purely in terms of fitness because back years ago I used to do a lot of running and then I wasn’t able to do that because of all the surgeries. I just couldn’t run on the treadmill or on the road because of my toe, I was in too much pain. Now, I’ve been running most days and feeling great because of it,” he added.
“The body’s great, really good. The last few weeks I had a bit of a wrist issue, but it’s settled down now. It flared up after Davis Cup time in Poland, but I’ve had it looked at and it’s fine. The toe, the legs are all feeling great. I’ve been able to do a whole heap of fitness, so it’s all good.”
