Myla Federer, Cruz Hewitt Fuel US Open Rumors

Cruz Hewitt, the 17-year-old son of Australian tennis great Lleyton Hewitt, and Myla Federer, the 17-year-old daughter of Roger Federer, drew attention after sitting together during a U.S. Open night session at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The teenagers were seen laughing, leaning toward each other and sharing content on their phones while watching Ben Shelton play Tallon Griekspoor. Their repeated appearances together at events including the Australian Open and Wimbledon have fueled fan speculation about a possible romance, but neither family has confirmed that they are dating and they are generally described as close friends. The outing coincided with Roger Federer receiving his International Tennis Hall of Fame ring at the stadium, while Myla’s twin sister, Charlene, and younger brother, Leo, also attended. Cruz is pursuing a professional tennis career and has reached a career-high singles ranking of No. 354.
