The teenage son of former world number one Lleyton Hewitt failed to make it through Australian Open qualifying on Tuesday with Bernard Tomic and French veteran Richard Gasquet among other early casualties. Nearly 30 years after his father made his first Australian Open with a qualifying wildcard, the 16-year-old Cruz Hewitt was bidding to do the same.

Gasquet was bidding to make an 18th Australian Open main-draw appearance but fell in straight sets to Duje Ajdukovic, who is 15 years his junior at age 23.
