BRISBANE, Australia, Jan. 5 (UPI) -- Lleyton Hewitt used a fast start Sunday to stun world No. 6 Roger Federer and earn his first ATP title since 2010 in the finals of the Brisbane International.
Hewitt, who had beaten Federer just once in 17 ATP meetings since 2002, came away a 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 winner Sunday in claiming the tournament in his home country. It was the 29th ATP championship for Hewitt, who collected his first exactly 16 years ago at Adelaide, Australia.
