Australia names Hewitt and Dellacqua to Olympic team

SYDNEY: A nagging hip injury has not prevented Lleyton Hewitt from being named to the Australian Olympic team for Beijing, along with rising women's star Casey Dellacqua, officials said on Tuesday.

Hewitt, who was bundled out of Wimbledon in a fourth-round showdown with Roger Federer, is the only Australian to automatically qualify for the men's singles.

He will partner Chris Guccione in the doubles while doubles specialists Paul Hanley and Jordan Kerr will also represent Australia in the doubles.
