Intro:

Lleyton Hewitt announced as wild card entry for Aegon Championship.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lleyton Hewitt:
"Yeah. Obviously I have thought long and hard on what I want to do and still get out of the game and and I am still motivated to go out there and compete and you know, at the moment the main focus is on these Davis Cup (games) coming up for Australia. We take on the Czech Republic..but the grass court season obviously in London and playing Queen's and Wimbledon - two of the most special places that I have ever played tennis before and had so much success and some of my greatest memories and victories at both those places so I can't wait to get back there at least one more time."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lleyton Hewitt:
"Well I had pretty much always decided since I lost at Wimbledon last year that I was definitely going to go back and enjoy it one more time. I love the grass court 'swing' so my focus was obviously I have still done enough work that my body is in good enough nick to go out there and compete against these guys still over five sets. I still feel that on grass I still have my best opportunity as well."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lleyton Hewitt:
(on playing at Queens)
"Well just the tradition and history of the place as well. When you walk in the Queen's club, very much like the All England Club at Wimbledon, you feel the history of the place as soon as you walk in there. Obviously the grass courts...they are prepared so well but Centre Court out at Queen's you don't get a bad bounce out there."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lleyton Hewitt:
"I still give myself a good shot. I feel like obviously with the little bit of luck in the draw..but as I said, the grass court tournaments seem to throw a few surprises. Obviously at Queen's this year there (it) is going to be one week before on grass actually for some guys to get their eye in before coming to Queen's which is the first time that has ever happened. So that is going to be a big difference as well and obviously, going up in stature to an ATP 500 event as well. So, there is more points and a bit more pressure I guess on the line now - that it is a slightly bigger tournament on the calendar."
