Tennis ace Roger Federer, 45, is one of the most loved athletes across the globe, given his talent, humility and grace. But it seems he can't please everyone. Apparently, Rebecca Hewitt, wife of former Australian World No. 1 Lleyton, is "fed-up" of the Swiss ace and her husband's growing friendship.
Hewitt's son Cruz, 17, is an aspiring tennis player and due to this, Hewitt has been in constant touch with Federer, leaving Rebecca frustrated. "Rebecca is so over it [their friendship]. She understands why Lleyton feels the need to be close to him, especially with Cruz's career taking off. But it's becoming a bit much. Roger comes up in conversation constantly," a source was quoted as saying by the UK news outlet Daily Express.
Reports have suggested that Cruz is dating Federer's daughter Myla, and is considering moving to Switzerland to spend time with her. This probably gives Lleyton another reason to strengthen his bond with Federer.
