Latest on US Open: Hewitt, 2001 Champ, Loses in 5 Sets

NEW YORK — The latest on the U.S. Open (all times local):

8:55 p.m.

Lleyton Hewitt couldn't keep his last U.S. Open going a little longer.

The 2001 champ rallied from two sets down and had a pair of match points but wasn't able to complete the comeback, losing to fellow Australian Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 5-7, 7-5 in near 3 1/2 hours Thursday.

With his 6-year-old son cheering from his box in a backward baseball cap just like Dad, Hewitt had two match points on Tomic's serve at 5-3 in the fifth but couldn't convert them.
