Cruz Hewitt reaches first M25 final

16-year-old Cruz Hewitt has reached his first final on the pro tour.

Hewitt advanced to the final following a 7-6(1), 1-6, 6-3 victory over South Korea’s Shin Sanhui.

The Australian sits at no. 1174 in the rankings but will jump a decent amount after this achievement.

Hewitt would of course like to take it a step further and win his first professional title.

Hewitt has shown impressive form in Launceston and had earlier defeated the no. 2 seed enroute to the final.

Jason Kubler stands in the way after the former world no. 63 defeated USA’s Christian Langmo 7-6(10), 7-5.

Kubler last week won the M25 title in Burnie.
