SYDNEY (AP) — Two-time Grand Slam singles champion Lleyton Hewitt’s return from retirement with his son Cruz in doubles at the New South Wales Open challenger tournament ended Thursday with a loss in the quarterfinals.

Former No. 1-ranked Hewitt, 44, who won the U.S. Open in 2001 and Wimbledon in 2002 and officially retired from singles in 2016, had combined with his 16-year-old son Cruz to beat Hayden Jones and Pavle Marinkov 6-1, 6-0 in a match Wednesday.

But the father-son team lost 7-5, 6-4 to Dane Sweeney and Calum Puttergill in the quarterfinals.
