The Aussie had some kind words for Halep on social media when all was said and done. Former champ LLeyton Hewitt and top-seeded Simona Halep took to the court for a grueling practice today in London. Looks like both players enjoyed the experience quite a bit—after they caught their breath.
Thank you soooo much for the practice @lleytonhewitt βΊοΈβΊοΈ It’s amazing how well you play and make it look so easy. I was dead at the end π Thanks also to @darren_cahill for organising and Andrei Pavel for joining in. I had the best day @wimbledon π #luckygirl pic.twitter.com/dcUf7Dvdep

Hewitt, 37, has taken a wild card into the doubles with Alex Bolt. Hewitt and Halep both have won Grand Slams with Darren Cahill as their coach, so the pair have more in common than their well-documented and much-celebrated battle lust.
Haha… @Simona_Halep you hit it great and took it easy on me π https://t.co/vozPLCLKIR
