The 22-year-old, who was diagnosed with Perthes Disease at the age of six, said: \u201cThat\u2019s obviously great news. At least I can carry on playing for another 15 months or so. Hopefully there can be decisions overturned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hewett, from Norwich, was emotional after he and Reid won their seventh slam doubles title together at the Australian Open in January, and he is candid about how difficult the situation has been.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s tough, I\u2019m not going to lie,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy to go out and play what could be your last New York or your last Australian Open. It\u2019s something that I have struggled with and I won\u2019t hide from that.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”75″ back_color=”color-lxmt” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\u201cIt\u2019s hard to be told that your career has to be stopped from a decision that\u2019s not in your own hands. You\u2019re going to have to go out there and try to win and put all that behind you, which is not easy when maybe you\u2019re in a final or a semi-final and there\u2019s something in the back of your head that keeps reminding you it could be the last time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hewett was threatened with another blow when the United States Tennis Association announced wheelchair events would not be played at this year\u2019s behind-closed-doors US Open.<\/p>\n

The decision was swiftly overturned after an outcry among players, giving Hewett and Reid the chance to challenge for a fourth straight doubles title at Flushing Meadows, while Hewett is going for a hat-trick of singles trophies.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]JTNDYmxvY2txdW90ZSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10d2VldCUyMiUzRSUzQ3AlMjBsYW5nJTNEJTIyZW4lMjIlMjBkaXIlM0QlMjJsdHIlMjIlM0VXYXMlMjB0aGlzJTIwdGhlJTIwZ3JlYXRlc3QlMjB3aGVlbGNoYWlyJTIwdGVubmlzJTIwcmFsbHklMjBldmVyJTNGJTIwJTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRVRoZSUyMGNvbmNlbnRyYXRpb24lMkMlMjB0aGUlMjBhdGhsZXRpY2lzbSUyQyUyMHRoZSUyMGVuZHVyYW5jZSUyQyUyMHRoZSUyMHNraWxsLiUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRkdvcmRvblJlaWQ5MSUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFJTQwR29yZG9uUmVpZDkxJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUyMGFuZCUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRmFsZmllaGV3ZXR0NiUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFJTQwYWxmaWVoZXdldHQ2JTNDJTJGYSUzRSUyMHNldCUyMHRoZSUyMGNvdXJ0JTIwYWxpZ2h0JTIwaW4lMjBSaW8uJTIwJUYwJTlGJTk0JUE1JTIwJTNDYnIlM0UlM0NiciUzRUpvaW4lMjBvdXIlMjB0ZWFtJTNBJTIwJTNDYSUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnQuY28lMkZTODREM1RPNm5iJTIyJTNFaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0LmNvJTJGUzg0RDNUTzZuYiUzQyUyRmElM0UlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZoYXNodGFnJTJGSW1wb3NzaWJsZVRvSWdub3JlJTNGc3JjJTNEaGFzaCUyNmFtcCUzQnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFJTIzSW1wb3NzaWJsZVRvSWdub3JlJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUyMCUzQ2ElMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ0LmNvJTJGWHVSNzhPbFRLQSUyMiUzRXBpYy50d2l0dGVyLmNvbSUyRlh1Ujc4T2xUS0ElM0MlMkZhJTNFJTNDJTJGcCUzRSUyNm1kYXNoJTNCJTIwUGFyYWx5bXBpY3NHQiUyMCUyOCU0MFBhcmFseW1waWNzR0IlMjklMjAlM0NhJTIwaHJlZiUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGdHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZQYXJhbHltcGljc0dCJTJGc3RhdHVzJTJGMTMwMDUwNTMwMDIxOTQyMDY3MiUzRnJlZl9zcmMlM0R0d3NyYyUyNTVFdGZ3JTIyJTNFQXVndXN0JTIwMzElMkMlMjAyMDIwJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUzQyUyRmJsb2NrcXVvdGUlM0UlMjAlM0NzY3JpcHQlMjBhc3luYyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGcGxhdGZvcm0udHdpdHRlci5jb20lMkZ3aWRnZXRzLmpzJTIyJTIwY2hhcnNldCUzRCUyMnV0Zi04JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”4″ bottom_padding=”4″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”4″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html]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[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The only match he has lost at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center was the singles final on his debut in 2017.<\/p>\n
