Lleyton Hewitt's final Australian Open campaign is not over yet after a thrilling doubles win on Saturday with fellow Australian Sam Groth.
The pair defeated John Peers, also from Australia, and Henri Kontinen 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 to advance to the third round, in front of a vocal Aussie crowd at Hisense Arena, with the fans willing Hewitt and Groth to the line, continuing the career of the legendary Australian for at least one more match.
