Stunning moment captured on camera as Lleyton and wife rub shoulders with royals
New footage has emerged of Lleyton Hewitt and wife Bec's reaction to a stunning rally in the Wimbledon men's final as they brushed shoulders with the royal family. Lleyton and Bec were invited to sit in the royal box for Sunday's final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz - won by World No.1 Sinner. Retired tennis players Hewitt, Andre Agassi and Chris Evert were all in the royal box, and received their invites as former champions. Hewitt won the title at the All England Club in 2002, while Agassi was crowned champion in 1992. Evert won the prestigious title in 1974, 1976 and 1981. Lleyton and Bec were in London supporting son Cruz, who took part in the junior boys tournament. The 16-year-old Cruz is forging a tennis career of his own, and hoping to follow in the footsteps of his famous father. Cruz enjoyed a straight-sets victory in the opening round of the junior event, but his campaign was ended in the second round. The teenager was spotted in a number of fiery moments directed at father Lleyton as the match slipped away from him. On Sunday, Lleyton was back at the All England Club rubbing shoulders with royalty. The Hewitts were seated directly behind Kate Middleton, and were spotted chatting to the Princess of Wales on numerous occasions. Prince William was also in the front row of the royal box, as were children Charlotte and George. Lleyton and Bec were given top billing in the royal box, and seated in front of other celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Anna Wintour. And there was a moment in the match where they were all blown away.

The Spanish World No.2 appeared destined to lose the rally, before he produced a wonderful backhand slice that Sinner couldn't get to. The majority of the royal box were on the edge of their seats throughout, before William and Kate were both left with their mouths agape. Bec threw her hands to her face in amazement, while Lleyton was just about the only person in the crowd not to show some sort of disbelief. The Aussie legend clapped the players after the extraordinary rally, but after such an illustrious career it's probably hard to see something that stuns you. In complete contrast, former American player Justin Gimelstob was left completely gobsmacked. A former ATP director, Gimelstob was there as a guest of Agassi.

His fourth grand slam singles title came after he copped a controversial three-month ban earlier this year for inadvertently ingesting a banned substance. The three-month suspension came at an ideal time for Sinner, who wasn't forced to miss any grand slam tournaments and managed to retain the World No.1 ranking.

Bec Hewitt and husband Lleyton appear tense at Wimbledon after it emerged a 'Beckham-style feud is brewing' between tennis champ and daughter Mia's rocker boyfriend
Lleyton Hewitt and his wife Bec Hewitt are enjoying a getaway to catch some of the world's most prestigious tennis matches. The power couple attended the Ladies' Doubles Final at Wimbledon in London on Sunday, sitting in the A-list Royal Box. The two looked a tad tense at times, amid recent claims that 'Beckham-style feud is brewing' between the retired tennis champion and his daughter Mia's rocker boyfriend in recent weeks. Lleyton, 44, was formally attired in a dark blue suit along with a dress shirt, and matching tie. Singer Bec, 41, chose a bright red frock and at times hid her famous face behind a pair of designer sunglasses. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The couple chatted throughout the match, but wore tense expressions, perhaps over what was happening on the court. It comes amid reports that Lleyton has concerns about the fast and loose lifestyle his eldest daughter Mia leads with her rock'n'roll boyfriend, Vanda Erich. The 19-year-old musician and her Liquid Zoo frontman partner were first romantically linked in May last year when they were seen going for lunch in Surry Hills. They are now often seen living wild and free, with sources claiming tennis champion Lleyton fears Mia is being led astray, according to Woman's Day. 'Lleyton is just like any dad out there and is super protective, especially of his girls. He is very much serving up the tough dad act right now,' an insider said. 'He wants Mia to be happy but he thinks she's still too young to be getting into any kind of serious relationship.' The publication went on to claim there are signs a 'Beckham-style feud is brewing behind the scenes'. The former Wimbledon star was reportedly unimpressed with images that emerged last year of Mia and Vanda smoking and acting up for cameras. The two looked a tad tense at times, amid recent claims that 'Beckham-style feud is brewing' between the retired tennis champion and his daughter Mia's rocker boyfriend in recent weeks He is said to want Mia to experiment and enjoy life, but not at the cost of a healthy lifestyle and quality time with the family. 'Living her dreams is important but so is maintaining her relationship with her family,' the source said. Notably, Mia is the only member of the Hewitt family who follows Vanda on social media. Not even her younger brother Cruz can be found in Vanda's follow list, despite the singer following the 16-year-old's Instagram account. Mia and Vanda have frequently been spotted spending time together at the beach and with their friends. In September last year, the rising star, often dubbed a 'nepo baby', performed her first gig with her band Father's Favourite. Mia, the daughter of Lleyton and his Home and Away star wife Bec, looked stylish in a tiny white skirt and black top as she wowed the crowd at a brewery in Sydney. Her band's Instagram page describes the group as a 'bohemian folk rock duo'. Mia was earlier seen during an outing with a group of friends in Sydney's Rose Bay as they stepped out at Rose Bay House for a meal. The Father's Favourite folk singer shocked onlookers as she was seen smoking during the outing. Her rock star boyfriend Vanda, the lead singer of the band Liquid Zoo, also acted up for the cameras as he was seen wearing shades and swearing while the group laughed. The duo were also joined by one of Vanda's Liquid Zoo bandmates as they all got out of Mia's car together and headed for a bite to eat. Mia's parents, Lleyton and Bec, met on the tennis court for a charity game at the Starlight Cup back in 1999. The couple didn't reconnect until a few years later and finally met up in person in 2005, before getting engaged after a whirlwind romance that lasted six weeks. Grand Slam champion Lleyton married actress Bec 18 years ago in a romantic ceremony at the Sydney Opera House. As well as singer Mia, they also share another daughter, Ava, 14, and son Cruz.

Little ‘Lleyton' Hewitt crashes out of Wimbledon as famous parents look on
Any British player feeling overwhelmed by pressure during Wimbledon fortnight ought to consider how it feels to be thrust on to the grass courts as the son of a champion. While the rest of the competitors in the boys' singles could plot the next stage along their career path in blissful anonymity, their entourages nurturing and readying them for a breakthrough in an imagined future, 16-year-old Cruz Hewitt enjoyed the blessing and endured the curse of enough prying eyes to have filled one of the show courts. In the shadow of the arena where Lleyton Hewitt won a career-defining Wimbledon title 23 years ago, his son's first attempt to join his father on the honours board ended in the second round, losing 6-3, 6-0 to Finnish 11th seed Oskari Paldanius. One imagines more was learned by playing for just under an hour with such expectation, and amid such attention from intrigued passers-by, than any of his previous junior events. The cramped Court 5 attracted sports fans and celebrity hunters in equal measure as the famous parents of Hewitt jnr (his actress and reality TV host mother Bec is a household name in Australia) took their seats on the quaint park benches, the 2002 champion's presence guaranteeing the kind of wisdom and insight most competitors would need Lottery funding to afford. The typically feisty Aussie contingent was eager to get behind the teenager, the noise whenever he threatened to make the first set competitive a stark contrast to the isolated hand claps for the impressive Paldanius. Alas, this was literally the boy versus the man as the physically daunting Finn left the Aussie clinging for a semblance of hope from the moment he broke serve in the second game. In truth, it was like watching two boxers in different weight divisions, the 18-month age gap decisive with Paldanius, who dashed through the second set, so athletically developed he would not have looked out of place in the men's draw. How much talent has passed through the Hewitt genes? Evidently plenty, most noticeably a whipped forehand with enough backlift to offer a wind source in the event of an energy blackout in south-west London. The famed Hewitt reverse baseball cap ensured those taking a fleeting view of the match were in no doubt as to which of the youngsters was the Australian, as did the occasional show of petulance when a few second-serve returns too many were dumped into the net. The personal disappointment became a factor in the second set when the willingness to excel did not match the ability to unruffle an opponent in cruise control. 'Stop looking so cool, Dad,' young Hewitt suggested to his father, who was never going to offer grand gestures or show signs of anything but beaming pride, no matter what the outcome. This was one of those tough miles on what the young Hewitt will hope will be an invigorating journey, but these beautiful courts will look even more alluring if a feisty, ultra-competitive Hewitt can be nurtured to continue the family business.

Lleyton and Bec Hewitt's daughter Mia looks every inch the rocker in a leopard print faux fur coat as she arrives for a gig in Sydney
Mia Hewitt looked every inch the rocker on Friday when she stepped out for a gig in Sydney. Mia, the daughter of Tennis champ Lleyton Hewitt and former Home and Away star Bec, is one half of the musical duo Father's Favourite. And she certainly looked the part when she was seen hopping out of an Uber on her way to the gig. Mia rugged up against the inclement Sydney weather in a faux leopard print fur coat. The wintry garment was all Mia had for warmth, however, with the burgeoning rocker wearing a thin white silk blouse underneath the coat. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The blouse featured lace embellishments around the neckline and hem. She also put on quite the leggy display in a pair of light brown hotpants that finished at the top of her thigh. Mia finished her rocker look with a pair of knee-high brown leather boots, while accessorising with a vintage-looking brown leather bag that she had slung over her shoulder. She wore her mousy brown locks down for the occasion, letting her hair fall freely down her back. Arriving at the venue with a bandmate, Mia could be seen grabbing a large black guitar case from the trunk of her Uber. She looked laser focused on the task ahead, sporting a stoic expression as she made her way into the venue. Mia's band performed their first gig back in August last year, and her former Home and Away star mum Bec is reportedly keen to steer her in the right musical direction. While she is best known for playing Home and Away fan favourite Hailey Smith Lawson from 1998 to 2005, the actress also had a brief pop career. And she certainly looked the part when she was seen hopping out of an Uber on her way to the gig Mia rugged up against the inclement Sydney weather in a faux leopard print fur coat The wintry garment was all Mia had for warmth, however, with the burgeoning rocker wearing a thin white silk blouse underneath the coat On the back of her television fame, Bec released an eponymous solo album in 2002, and her debut single All Seats Taken hit number 10 on the ARIA chart. Her album, however, was met with mixed reviews and her music career effectively came to an end in 2004 when she parted ways with label Warner Music. A source told New Idea that Bec is keen to ensure that her daughter avoids the pitfalls that can befall new and inexperienced artists. 'Bec knows how to deal with bad people, dodgy managers, and doesn't want Mia making some of the mistakes she made early in her career, like being too optimistic about certain jobs,' they said. The insider added that while music is Mia's current consuming passion, she hasn't ruled out a career in front of the camera, like her actress mum. 'Mia is very savvy. She knows you can't just be good at one thing and that entering the music industry will ultimately see her having to create social media content and putting herself forward,' they said. 'Ultimately, that can lead to more work like modelling, acting and even presenting. 'Bec just wants Mia to be happy and working on a career that is going to sustain her.' It appears that the rockstar lifestyle is also rubbing off on Mia, with the young singer recently spotted smoking cigarette s while hanging out with friends in Sydney's Rose Bay. Mia's parents, tennis champion Lleyton and singer Bec, met on the tennis court for a charity game at the Starlight Cup back in 1999. The couple didn't reconnect until a few years later and finally met up in person in 2005, before getting engaged after a whirlwind romance that lasted six weeks. As well as singer Mia, they also share another daughter Ava, 12, and son Cruz, 15. It was recently claimed that Bec could be planning a return back in front of the cameras years after leaving her role as Hayley Smith Lawson on Home and Away in 2005.
