Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt wins at Queen's

Australian tennis star Lleyton Hewitt was the winner in the first round against Eduardo Schwank at the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club.

Hewitt, who is a former world number one in the tennis rankings although he has dropped down to 49th place, claimed an easy a 6-1 6-0 victory score against his Argentinean rival.

Hewitt is hoping to win at Queen's Club for the fifth time in his very successful tennis career - Hewitt had last claimed the Queen's title back in 2006.

Schwank, who is ranked 109th, was simply outclassed and made little progress at all in the match that was all over in a very short 44 minutes.

Spanish star Feliciano Lopez also beat American player Robert Kendrick and Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain defeated China's Lu Yen-Hsun 6-1 6-1.

Elsewhere in the tournament, British players Josh Goodall and Jamie Ward lost their matches.
