Hewitt reflected on a successful month in Europe.
“We’ve finished off the European leg of our season with a bang, winning the Hvidovre Mixed Doubles Cup in Denmark. Going through undefeated made it our sixth gold and eighth podium for the season. Overall, we’ve had a great European tour with 17 wins and just two losses along the way. “
“We’ve had a great time getting to experience the AIS European Training Centre in Italy while we’ve been over here. It’s been incredible to spend some time with other Aussie athletes with an atmosphere that made us feel right at home (Vegemite and Milo especially)! “
“We now head back to Canada for a big training block as we head into our last event before World Championships. More to come!”
