Lleyton Hewitt, who captured his first Grand Slam singles title at the US Open in 2001, withdrew from the tournament after undergoing left hip surgery last Saturday. The 27-year-old Aussie will be sidelined the rest of the season.

It is only the second time in Hewitt's career he has withdrawn from a Grand Slam tournament ('05 Roland Garros). The US Open was his most successful Slam with a 39-8 career record. In addition to his singles title, he won the doubles crown in 2000 (w/Mirnyi) and advanced to the singles final in 2004 (l. to Federer). Overall, he reached the quarterfinals or better seven times.

Hewitt, who last week lost in the second round to eventual champion Nadal at the Beijing Olympics, said on his website, "Surgery was always the last resort, but unfortunately that’s what it came down to.”
