Records and career milestones
In 1997, aged 15 years and 11 months, Hewitt qualified for the Australian Open, becoming the youngest qualifier in the event's history. The following year, Hewitt upset Andre Agassi en route to winning his first ATP singles title at the Next Generation Adelaide International, becoming the third youngest player to win an ATP singles title after Aaron Krickstein and Michael Chang and the lowest ranked ATP singles champion in history. In 2000, Hewitt became the first teenager since Pete Sampras to claim four singles titles in the same season when he won titles in Adelaide, Sydney, Scottsdale and Queen's. His victory at the latter event also meant that he had now won at least one singles title on each playing surface. In September, Hewitt reached his first grand slam semi-final at the US Open, losing to Sampras in straight sets but won his first grand slam title of any sort by winning the doubles event with Max Mirnyi, thus becoming the youngest player to win a grand slam doubles title in the Open era. In November, he reached his first ATP Masters 1000 final in Stuttgart before finishing his season with a round robin loss at the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup, an event which he had qualified for the first time in his career. Hewitt finished the year ranked World No. 7, marking his first finish in the year-end top ten.In June 2001, Hewitt reached his first quarterfinal at the French Open, losing to Juan Carlos Ferrero in straight sets before going on to win his first grand slam singles title at the US Open, defeating Pete Sampras in the final in straight sets. In November, he won his first year-end championship at the Tennis Masters Cup, becoming the first Australian player to do so and as a result, became the World No. 1 for the first time in his career. Aged 20 years and 8 months at the time, Hewitt remains the youngest male ever to have reached the summit of the ATP Singles Rankings. He finished the year with a tour leading win-loss record of 80–18; six singles titles and the year-end No. 1 ranking, which was another first for a male Australian player.
After a disappointing start to the 2002 season, Hewitt embarked on a 15-match winning streak, collecting titles in San Jose and Indian Wells, defeating Andre Agassi and Tim Henman respectively before losing in the semi-finals of the NASDAQ–100 Open to Roger Federer, a loss which also ended his 23–match winning streak in American tournaments. Hewitt's match with Agassi was "considered by many to be the year's best final on the ATP World Tour" whilst his triumph over Henman gave him his first ATP Masters 1000 title. In June, Hewitt won his second grand slam singles title at the Wimbledon Championships, defeating first time grand slam finalist David Nalbandian in the championship match before finishing as runner-up to Carlos Moyá at the Cincinnati Masters and ending his US Open title defence with a four set semi-final loss to Agassi. In November, he reached his third ATP Masters 1000 final of the year at the Paris Masters then successfully defended his title at the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup, defeating Juan Carlos Ferrero in a five set final lasting 3 hours and 51 minutes. Hewitt finished the year ranked World No. 1 for the second consecutive season, becoming the seventh player to do so and the fourth player to remain at the top of the ATP Singles Rankings for an entire year. He won more singles matches and ATP Masters 1000 matches than any other player this year and tied Agassi for the most singles titles won this season with five. He served a career-best 536 aces throughout the season, led his peers in terms of return games won and points won on his first serve and also earned $4,619,38 in prize money, which remains the highest amount he has earned in a single season.
in 2002.
2003 was a relatively disappointing season for Hewitt as he lost the World No. 1 ranking after spending seventy-five consecutive weeks at the top spot and ended his Wimbledon title defence with a first round loss to Ivo Karlović, thus becoming the first player since Manuel Santana in 1967 to fail to defend their title by losing in the first round of the event. However, he successfully defended his title at the Pacific Life Open, reached his fourth consecutive quarterfinal at the US Open and led Australia to victory in the Davis Cup.
.
Hewitt returned to form the following year, equalling his career-best of reaching seven singles finals in the one season and compiling his best ever single-season win-loss record in grand slam singles play. In May, he reached his second quarterfinal at the French Open, losing to the eventual champion Gastón Gaudio in straight sets before reaching his second consecutive grand slam quarterfinal at the Wimbledon Championships where he lost to the World No. 1 and defending champion, Roger Federer in four sets. He also enjoyed a stellar US Open series campaign as he reached his second final at the Cincinnati Masters and won titles in Washington D.C. and Long Island respectively before reaching his second US Open final and third grand slam singles final where he lost to Federer in straight sets. He finished the year by reaching his third final at the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup, once again losing to Federer and ended the year ranked World No. 3. Hewitt began the 2005 season by winning his fourth title at the Medibank International, becoming the first player to win that many titles at the event since John Bromwich in 1940 before defeating Rafael Nadal, David Nalbandian and Andy Roddick en route to his first Australian Open final where he lost in four sets to Marat Safin. By reaching the final, Hewitt had now reached the quarterfinals or better at all four grand slam events and had also become the first male Australian player to reach the Australian Open singles final since Pat Cash in 1988. The remainder of Hewitt's year was highlighted by a finals appearance at the Pacific Life Open and semi-final appearances at the Wimbledon Championships and US Open; he lost on all three occasions to the World No. 1, Roger Federer. Hewitt qualified for the year-ending Tennis Masters Cup for the fifth time in his career but withdrew from the event as his wife was due to give birth to their first child. He ended the year ranked World No. 4, which remains his last finish in the year-end top ten.
In recent years, most of Hewitt's best results have come at grass court tournaments, although he did reach the quarterfinals of the 2009 Cincinnati Masters and also won the 2014 Brisbane International, defeating Roger Federer in the final. At the 2009 Wimbledon Championships, Hewitt defeated Juan Martín del Potro en route to his first grand slam quarterfinal in three years where he lost in five sets to the eventual runner-up, Andy Roddick. The following year, Hewitt recovered from a set down to defeat Federer in the final of the Gerry Weber Open, thus ending his 15-match losing streak against the Swiss dating back to 2003. Between July 2012 and July 2014, Hewitt reached three consecutive finals at the Hall of Fame Open, losing to John Isner and Nicolas Mahut respectively before winning the title for the first time with a three set win over Ivo Karlović.
