While Wimbledon 2026 served up great action on the court, there was plenty happening in the stands too. Two-time Australian Grand Slam singles champion Lleyton Hewitt's son Cruz, 17, was spotted with Swiss legend Roger Federer's daughter Myla, 16, leading to rumours that the two are dating.
According to British newspaper The Daily Mail, Cruz and Myla were often spotted together watching matches at the All England Club, or seen hanging out at the players' café.
Cruz is a budding tennis player himself and had a stellar run at SW19, reaching the boys singles final, where he lost to American qualifier Jordan Lee. Interestingly, Myla and her twin sister Charlene were frequently spotted supporting him in the stands.
Back in the day, Hewitt and Federer shared a healthy, if one-sided, sporting rivalry, with the 20-time Grand Slam champion winning their head-to-head battle 18-9. Federer never lost to Hewitt at a Slam and even knocked the Australian out in eight straight major competitions. However, Hewitt did have the last laugh, winning their last clash at the final of the Brisbane International in 2014.
