Lleyton Hewitt: "The buzz is still there"

Lleyton Hewitt says that he is too motivated to consider retiring just yet, ahead of his Australian Open second-round match with Benjamin Becker.

Lleyton Hewitt has said that he is still enjoying his tennis and that he has no plans to retire if he loses against Benjamin Becker in the second round of the Australian Open tomorrow.

Becker famously ended the career of Andre Agassi in 2006, but Australian Hewitt says that he is still having too much fun to walk away yet.

He told reporters: "The motivation, the buzz is still there. I love walking through the corridors, the practice sessions on Rod Laver Arena, the week leading up to a slam.

"The start of the Australian Open, there's always a real buzz around anyway. But this is one of the things I will really miss when I do eventually retire."

Hewitt has never won his home Grand Slam, but did finish runner-up in 2005.
