Nick Kyrgios and Lleyton Hewitt pair up for Queen's doubles

Nick Kyrgios will team up with Lleyton Hewitt in the doubles at Queen’s next month.

Kyrgios has credited Australian Davis Cup captain Hewitt with turning around his mentality on and off court this season, while Hewitt said he was looking forward to “getting out there with another Aussie” ahead of the tournament, from June 18-24.

Meanwhile, Briton’s Cameron Norrie, who yesterday climbed into the world’s top 100, has been rewarded with a wildcard into the singles draw for the newly renamed Fever-Tree Championships at Queen’s.

Norrie’s victory over Jose Hernandez-Fernandez in the first round of the Lyon Open ensures his place in that top 100.

Norrie’s Davis Cup captain, Leon Smith, said of the 22-year-old: “Cam has really pushed on and shown he can mix it with the top players on any given day.

“This is a great opportunity to do exactly that.”
