Federer, Hewitt take rivalry to the high seas
You can take the stars from the tennis court but you can’t take the rivalry out of two competitive warriors.
Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt continued their long battle in one of the strangest arenas when they duked it out on the Sydney Harbour.
The pair hit across the water from two speedboats as they cruised past some of Australia’s most iconic landmarks.
It’s unclear whether there was a winner when they returned to dry land, but the two stars certainly had their fun on the high seas.
The pair hitting tennis balls between the two vessels.
Cruising past some of Sydney's famous icons.
Federer had a steely focus despite the strange surroundings.
He recently claimed his 1000th win in Brisbane.
But Hewitt wasn't one to be left in Federer's wake.
Despite being knocked out in the first round in Brisbane.
The stars had all the shots.
But it's unsure if their sea legs kept them steady or not.
